The reading and the listening passages are both about Agnostids, which is a marine animal that become extinct long time ago. While the reading provides three theories to determine what agnostids ate or how they behaved, the listening states the weakness of each theory.
First of all, the article states that other types of arthropods were strong swimmers and active predators that preyed on plenty of smaller organisms. However, the lecturer points out that in order for agnostids to swim, it needed eyes. In addition, agnostids had poorly vision and some of them were blind. Moreover, she adds that agnostids needed some other sensory in order to prey, but there is no evidence.
Secondly, the writer contends that agnostids were seafloor dwellers, which would have lived on eating dead organisms. Also, agnostids live in many areas around the world. On the other hand, the lecturer claims that seafloor move slowly and you can see them only in small areas, but agnostids fossils are available around the world because they were able to move very fast.
Finally, the author states that agnostids were parasite. The professor contradicts this point by saying that parasite population is not very large. There is few of them, and if they are available they kill the surrounding population. Therefore, the professor roles out this theory because agnostids fossils are huge number.
To conculde, the lecturer debunks each theory that the reading passage provided.
