TPO-43 - Integrated Writing Task Agnostids were a group of marine animals that became extinct about 450 million years ago. Agnostid fossils can be found in rocks in many areas around the world. From the fossil remains, we know that agnostids were primitiv

The passage proposes Agnostids behaviors and brings three main factors for their ways for life. On the contrary, the professor casts doubts about this hypothesis and does not validate this information and reasons that are mentioned in the passage by underlining some cogent reasons which contradict them in this framework.

First, the passage states that Angosides were free-swimming predators which hunted smaller animals. However, the professor in the lecture says that this point is not to be taken seriously because free-swimming predators have large eyes for vision and taking their preys in the sea but Agnostids did not have such large eyes and they were probably blind. So, other senses of them must help them for prey but the evidence does not approve it.

Furthermore, the author asserts that Agnostids were seafloor dwellers. On the other hand, the professor mentions that this reason is highly questionable due to the fact that seafloor dwellers did not move so fast and live in the localized area but Agnostids were multiple dwellers who swim in a large distance and move fast from one location to another one. So, it is unusual for them to be seafloor dwellers.

Finally, the passage holds the view that Agnostids were parasites. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this point based on the evidence that parasites' population is not large because they harm animals in this way but the Agnostids lived in great size based on which the fossils show. So, it contradicts the idea that Agnostids were parasites.
