▶ Your Answer :
In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim that there are reasons for sad discovery of whale lying on the beach. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point. First, the professor contends that the phenomenon materializes all over the world. Moreover, this wind pattern vary on the circumstance. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that as a whale find food, they become closer to the Australia and enter shallow ocean. Next, the professor insists that coming to ashore due to illness is unreliable. Because, they cannot explain why healthy whale are stranded. On top of that going back to the water for whale is common affair. Moreover, whales can swim to the sea with their own strength. This counters the reading passage’s assertion that whale are coming to ashore because of sickness or they are already died prior to they arrived at beach. Finally, the professor argues that whale have navigation ability. so they can detect orientation and can find where the shallow ocean is. Moreover, that’s not been the case. This refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that the geological feature of a certain coastlines are the reason for whale’s stranding and the beam cannot reflect. |
