▶ Your Answer :
The
lecturer in the lecture argues that the argument which the reading passage claims
about the primary function of the Great Zimbabwe has come up short. However,
the reading passage claims that the site was used as a protection, royal use,
and religious use.
First,
the lecturer claims that it is unlikely that the site is used as a defense fort
to protect people. To be concrete, there were no fresh water to sustain inhabitance
and no defense structures. However, the reading passage argues that the Great Zimbabwe
was used as a protection facility for people.
Second, the lecturer is highly convinced that it
was not built as a place for the royal family. In detail, about twenty thousand
people lived in that site. Since “dzimba woye” means “made of stone”, it is
possible to say it was not constructed for royals. In stark contrast, the
reading passage claims that it was made as a home for the royal family.
Finally, the lecturer’s clear stance is that it
wasn’t used as a religious use. To be specific, the cave on the hill was used
by the king to carry his voice across the valley. However, the reading passage
argues that it was intended as a religious use.
