TPO-32 Integrated Writing
Starting in the 1960s and continuing until the 1980s, sailors in Russian submarines patrolling the North Alantic and Arctic Ocean would occasionally hear strange sounds. These underwater noises reminded the submarine crews of frog croaks, so they called the sounds “quackers” (from the Russian word for frog sounds). The sources of the sound seemed to be moving with great speed and agility; however, the submarines’ sonar (a method of detecting objects underwater) was unable to detect any solid moving objects in the area. There are several theories about what might have caused the odd sounds.
The first theory suggests that the strange noises were actually the calls of male and female ocra whales during a courtship ritual. Orca whales are known to inhabit the areas where the submarines were picking up the bizarre noises. Orcas have been studied extensively, and the sounds they make when trying to attract a male are similar to those that the submarines were detecting.
A second idea is that the sounds were caused by giant squid. Giant squids are gaint marine invertebrates that live deep in the ocean and prey on large fish. They are difficult to detect by sonar because they have soft bodies with no skeleton. Not much is known about giant squid behavior, but their complex brains suggest they are intelligent animals. It is possible they have the ability to emit sound, and perhaps they approached the submarines out of curiosity.
A third theory suggests the Russian submarines were picking up stray sounds from some military technology, like another country’s submarines that were secretly patrolling the area. Perhaps the foreign submarines did not register on sonar because they were using a kind of technology specifically designed to make them undetectable by sonar. The strange froglike sounds may have been emitted by the foreign submarines unintentionally.
The reading and the listening is about "quackers" which was an unknown source sound had heard by Russian submarines occasionally from the 1960s to 1980s. The writer provides three hypotheses to the finding the source of that sound. However, the professor disputes all assumptions by saying that there have big problems with all rationals.
First of all, the author claims that since ocras were lived that areas where Russian submarines picking up that strange sound and sound were so similar, this sound must be from female orca which asking attention from male ocra. The speaker, on the other hand, says that even though this assumption seems plausible but it was not like that. He further informs that ocra normally live on the upper surface of the water, and the submarine stayed at deep sea; as a result, that sound would not be able to pick from the submarine.
Secondly, the writer provokes giant squids might be the responsible for that sound as their body does not have any skeleton, and so the submarine couldn't able to detect them. The professor rebuts this point by saying that even though the giant squids live at the deep sea, they did not produce that sound. To prove it, he claims that that sound only exists for twenty years, yet those giant squids have been living that place for a long time and even now.
The third assumption suggests on the reading is that that sound might have come from other countries submarines which were not registered their sonar because of their secret intention. The professor claims that this is a bad reasoning. He states that there were no such submarines which were able to move at such high speed, and a submarine must have its engine sound. As a result, this point is wrong.
