In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example,

In this set of materials, the reading passage states that extinctions of frog populations have serious consequences for the ecosystems and provides several methods to solve the problem. However, the lecturer believes that none of those solutions is practical so, refute them all by offering several evidences.

First of all, it is mentioned in the article that frogs are being harmed by pesticides and the law must prohibit the farmers from using them. In contrast, the professor argues that the suggested plan is not economically fair because in the competitive market, farmers have to use pesticides to survive. Stricter regulations for farmers near frog habitats create serious disadvantages such as losing more crops and profit. Therefore, this is not a convincing method to protect frogs.

Furthermore, the passage claims that a fungus has spread around the world and causes thickening of the frogs' skin which leads to death because of dehydration. A recent treatment can help frogs to survive. On the contrary, the lecturer contends that the antifungal treatment is impossible for large scales. Researcher must treat the frogs individually which means capture and treat frogs one by one which is not possible. On the other hand frogs do not transfer the treatment to offsprings and it is essential to repeat it again and again. Hence, the solution is too complicated and expensive.

Finally, the reading asserts that since human activities use excessive water and decreases proper habitats of frogs, government should pass a law to protect lakes and marshes. Conversely, the lecturer expresses that the most important reason of reduction of lakes are because of global warming, not draining of wetlands. In fact, even if regulations restrict farmers, it is unlikely to change the situation and recover the negative effect of global warming.
