The reading passage and the lecture talk about the possible theories of the sounds "quackers" Despite that, the professor in the lecture states that these theories have certain problems. She casts doubt on every single point the reading makes and provide details to support her idea in the lecture.
To begin with, the author indicates that the sounds are the calls from orca whales. However, the lecturer points out that the orca whales are living near the surface of water. It is unlikely that the submarines locating in the deep water can hear their voices. Moreover, if the noises are from orca whales, if should be detected by the sonar. As a result, the professor can not give a nod to the author in terms of the first point.
Secondly, about the giant squid, the reading suggests that the noises were caused by giant squid whereas the speaker holds the view that the squids are still live in the ocean, if the voices are result from them, there is no reason the sounds disappear after 1980s. Apparently, the professor disproves its counterpart in the reading.
In addition, the writer claims that the sounds are produced by some military technology. The lecturer, on the other hand, argues that the sounds moved around and its direction changed rapidly. It is not possible that other submarines can move fast with a silent engine. Therefore, she can not support the opinion of the foreign submarines.
To sum up, the author and the professor have conflicting views on this topic.
