TOEFL T P O 43 Integrated Writing Task

Both the listening and the writing discuss several possible ways that agnostids lived before they became extinct. They contradict each other from the following three perspectives.

First, the lecturer challenges the idea purposed by the writer that agnostids lived by being strong swimmers and predating other creatures actively. Instead, she contends that agnostids with tiny eyes cannot catch enough prey because a good vision is important for a predator. Moreover, she cites that there is no evidence that agnostids had other special sensory that can help them get better at finding food.

Second, the professor refutes the idea advocated by the author that agnostids were seafloor dwellers scavenging dead organisms for lives. Nevertheless, she posits that agnostids which can move fast across long distances and large areas are not as usual as being seafloor dwellers. This is because seafloor dwellers tend to stay and occupy a small area and usually cannot move fast.

Third, the lecture casts doubt on the thought illustrated in the passage that agnostides lived as parasites. On the contrary, it indicates that the population for parasites is often not large and usually limits to a certain degree or they will kill the host organisms. Agnostides, however, have a large population shown by the numbers of fossils found indicating that they may rule out their hosts if they really lived as parasites.

In conclusion, the talk rebuts the passage from three distinct aspects in regard to the way that agnostids may have lived.
