TPO32
The reading passage deals with the issue of what might be the cause of the strange sounds heard by submarines called "quackers". The professor focuses on the same issue. However, she believes that those causes listed in the reading passage are obviously wrong. And in the lecture, the professor makes three specific points to back up her point of view.
In the first place, even though the reading passage suggests that the sounds are maybe the calls of orca whales, the professor claims in the lecture that it is highly doubted even though it seems reasonable. That is because orca whales live on the surface while submarines patrol deep in the ocean, which means it is impossible for sailors on submarines to hear the sound. Besides, orca whales will be detected by people if they occurred while people are sailing. Apparently, the professor's argument disproves its counterpart in the reading.
In the second place, contrary to the statement in the reading passage that the sounds were due to giant squid, the professor argues that this point is unwarranted. Then she supports this point with the fact that the sound stopped 20 years after it had been detected in 1960s by Russian people but giant squid exists in the ocean from past to present. In other words, giant squid would not just stopped making sound in 1980s.
Further, the professor states that submarines cannot catch up with military technology while the author of the reading claims that Russian submarines picked up the sounds from it. The professor shows that this claim is very weak by pointing out that the engine noise of military technology cannot compare to "quackers".
To sum up, the professor precisely discovers the flaws in the reading passage and successfully reveals that the arguments made in the reading are incorrect.
