In this set of materials, the reading passage explores the methods to slow down the declination of frog populations, and the professor's lecture deals with the same topic. However, she casts doubts on these ways. And in the lecture, she provides three specific points to substantiate her opinion.
To begin with, even though the reading passage suggests that government should establish related regulations to prohibit farmers from using toxic pesticides which have deadly effects on frogs near frog habitats, the professor argues in the lecture that this is neither feasible nor economical. This is because if farmers are not allowed to use pesticides on their crops, they cannot compete with other cheaper crops which used pesticides in production. As a result, farms will not gain profits from their crops, and this will be a great loss in economy. Clearly, professor's argument refutes its counterpart in the reading.
Moreover, despite the statement in the reading that antifungal medicine could be used to cure fungus-infected frogs, the professor contends that capturing and applying medicine to every infected frogs are difficult and require huge efforts. She supports this point with the fact that the treatment will not pass down through genes to frogs' offspring; therefore, they still need extra efforts to catch frogs and apply medicines on them.
Finally, the author of the reading claims that human activities damage frogs' habitats via developing wetlands, whereas the professor asserts that it is global warming, rather than human activities, that compromise their habitats. Then she explains that this claim is indefensible by pointing out that water and wetlands are declining due to global warming; hence, not only frogs but also several species are disappearing.
