▶ Your Answer :
The
reading passage insists that Peary got the North Pole for the first time
in that there are reliable proofs
to support
his argument. However, the lecturer disagrees with this position and brings
several points that contradict this claim.
First,
the lecturer states that the National Geographic Society did not examine
evidences which supported Peary’s claim closely and it took only for two days
to examine
these
evidences. Actually, the organization was filled with partial observers and people
who inspect this case were Peary’s friends. Moreover, Peary was one of the
biggest donors of the National Geographic Society. This rebuffs the reading
passage’s assertion that the society determined that Peary had reached the
North Pole through examining scrupulously his
proofs.
Second,
the speaker points out that his navigation records are unbelievable in that he
was lone member of his team. Therefore, no one sight and confirmed his figure in the navigation.
Furthermore, three days are too short to reach the North Pole. Tom Avery’s
experiment was flawed. Virtually, whether conditions were different and weights
sled loads were not same. Consequently, it was an inaccurate test. This
counters the reading passage’s explanation that Tom Avery’s test proves Peary’s records are true.
Last,
the speaker contends that his camera was manufactured to fit different six
lenses and shadows of a photo would have varied
epending on lenses of cameras. Hence, no one knows which lenses were used to
take the photo. In the end, many experts do not trust
photo evidences. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s that Peary took
several photographs while he was in the North Pole and these photos are potent
evidences of his claim.
