tpo 32 the quackers sound
The material discusses the causes of the strange sound called quackers. While the reading looks ate the topic from one perspective, the listening challenges certain points outlined in the reading passage.
Firstly, the reading details specific points regarding this topic, namely orca whales could make this odd voice. Next, this strange sound could be caused by giant squids. Finally, a secret submarine of another country could generate this sound.
Conversely, the lecture challenges the points, one specific contradiction is, it is true that orca whales could cause specific sound, but they usually live near the surface. However, submarines are deep in the ocean, so it is very hard to hear them. In addition to that, Russian submarines heard this sound in 1960, but it disappeared in 1980; on the other hand, giant squids still live there, so if they were the reason for this sound, this sound should continue till now. One final point, this sound moved with high speed and with changeable directions; however, submarines could not change their directions; moreover, with advanced technology today they could not move fast. As a result, quackers could not be caused by secret submarines.
