According to the reading passage, agnostides were the ancient insects who had lived on the earth about 450 million years ago. The paleontologists have found a plenty of them in the sea floors. These fossils have not enough information which enables the scientists to anticipate about their living styles. The author explains three potential theories about their living methods. However, the professor opposes all of them clearly.
First of all, the author mentions that the agnostides lived as a free-swimming predator since such as many similar arthropods, they might have been the free swimmers too. The professor refutes the author's argument. He states that the agnostides had eyes which enables them to track prays and caught them. So probably they had not been free-swimmers.
Second, the reading passage suggests that the agnostides might have lived on the seafloors. Although the huge number of arthropods had settled on the seafloor, the professor argues that the agnostides had the ability to move fast and this in the conspicuous contrast with the usual seafloor dwellers. Therefore, the proposed statement does not seem logical.
The last theory which the author describes it in the passage is that the agnostides had been parasites. Even though many modern agnostide counterparts live in this manner but as the professor mentions the agnostides lived in the large groups and had the extensive population. So, having the huge amount of a kind of parasites on the animal body means that the animal could not survive. Consequently, based on the professor statements the aforementioned notion cannot be acceptable.
In brief, the professor and author give contradicting idea about agnostide lifestyle. The professor asserts that all the theories have the strong weaknesses. So with the aforementioned theories, the paleontologists cannot explain the real behaviors of the agnostide.
