TPO33
The reading passage deals with the issue of the purpose and meaning of carved stone balls. The professor's talk focuses on the same topic. However, she believes that none of the theories stated in the reading is convincing. 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 those carved stone balls are used as weapons when people go hunting or fighting, the professor claims in the lecture that this explanation is groundless. That is because weapons found are cracked into pieces in that they were worn by people, which means the surface of those balls should not be intact as they were found. Apparently, the professor's argument disproves its counterpart in the reading.
In the second place, contrary to the statement in the reading that carved stone balls act as the unit to measure or weigh things, the professor argues that it turns out to be inadequate. Then she supports this point with the fact that there are various types of stone balls that have different density, and the two sides of one single ball also contain different kinds of rock which are unequal in density. In other words, those balls just couldn't be the standard.
Further, the professor states that carved stone balls cannot be designed without utility while the author of the reading claims that they served as a substance to show people's social status. The professor indicates that this claim is unwarranted by pointing out that some stone balls are too simple on decoration to be specially designed things and they are not even found in graves where special stuff to show classes of dead people should be buried.
To sum up, the professor precisely discovers the flaws in the reading passage and successfully reveals that the arguments in the passage are incorrect.
