In the given set of materials, the reading passage and the speaker discusses carved stone balls. Although, their significance has not been discovered, archeologists have proposed several theories to highlight their importance, but the speaker cast aside Each of the author's beliefs as he believes the suggested views were not convincing.

First, the author discusses that the carved stone balls were used as weapons in fights as there are several holes and grooves found, which was meant to swing and throw at the opponent. On the other hand, The speaker highlighted that if there would be evidence of wear if they were weaponized. Arrowheads show a sign of wear at its pointed end. Similarly, there should have been the presence of cracks in curved stone balls, but in reality, there is no evidence of damage found.

Secondly, the speaker suggested that curved stone balls must have served as a primary unit to weigh materials as they present a uniform size. However, the professor highlighted the shortsightedness of the theory as he notes that the stone balls were made from various stones, e.g., sandstone, which are too heavy to be utilized as a weighing unit

Finally, the author supports his claim by mentioning the curbed stone balls had a social purpose. However, the orator weakens the theory by noting that although some of the stones represented a complicated pattern, others were simple in design. Hence, they would represent a personal possession instead of a social symbol.

In conclusion, both the reading passage and the speaker illustrate the importance of carved stone balls. However, the author's weapon theory, weighing and measuring theory, and social symbol theory have been cast aside by the writer as the author's beliefs were found not to be convincing.
