In this set of materials, the reading passage explores the possible theories about how agnostids may have lived, and the professor's lecture deals with the same topic. However, she casts doubts on these theories, and in the lecture, she provides three specific points to support her opinion.
First, although the reading passage suggests that the agnostids hunted for smaller animals, the professor argues in the lecture that there is no evidence to prove agnostids are predators. This is because predators usually possess well-developed large eyes in order to track preys; nevertheless, agnostids are blind, not to mention having large eyes. Clearly, the professor's argument refutes its counterpart in the reading.
Moreover, despite the statement in the reading that agnostids may have lived on the seafloor, the professor contends that animals dwelling on the seafloor feature slow movement and have the tendency to stay and occupy one area where they originated, rather than in different areas. Then she substantiates this point with the fact that agnostids are found in multiple areas, which indicates that they have the ability to move from one place to another fast, and is an unusual phenomenon for seafloor animals.
Finally, the author of the reading passage claims that it is possible that agnostids were parasites, whereas the professor asserts that it is not possible. The professor explains that this claim is indefensible by pointing out that the population of parasites is relatively small since a large amount of parasites will kill their hosts. As a result, the great number of agnostids rules out the fact that agnostids were parasites.
