▶ Your Answer :In the reading passage there is ample support for the author's claim that there are some plausible evidence that Sauropods have the horizontal neck position. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal support to the author's point. First, the professor contends that it is hardly likely that horizontal neck was used to offset a weight of tail. The tail was not heavy enough to balance the body. Actually, the bones of tail was empty inside and consisted of air. This means that it probably reduced the weight and they did not need to keep neck in horizontal position to keep balance. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that the horizontal neck was to retain the balance since their tail was heavy. Next, the professor insists that the statement that Sauropod's neck was to eat the water plants is doubtful. The marine organisms were not a bountiful resources for Sauropods considering that their body was enormously huge. They need other foods to satisfy their dietary requirements, so the up-right neck position could enable them to eat the wide range of plants, such as vegetation located in the top of the tree. This rebuts the reading passage's assertion that the horizontal neck posture made it more easier to eat organisms which live in near the surface of water. Finally, the professor argues that the neck muscles were capable in up-right posture. Sauropods had exceptional shoulder muscles which could help to supplement the weakness of the neck muscles. As a result the shoulder muscles were able to raise neck vertically. This counters the reading passage's suggestion that the neck muscles were too weak to retain the heavy weight of neck which can be proved with the remains of Sauropods.
