▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage covers three major
points concerning reasons of Angkor's fall. The speaker, however, clearly
states why these points are debatable. The first point made in the reading is that the Black Death, plague, that was spread from China was the reason of Angkor's
demise. However, the listening challenges this by mentioning that the plague does
not seem to reduce the population of Angkor because the nation is located in inland, and Chinese came to Angkor over the sea. Hence, the disease may not be an
effective reason of the demise. Another point made by the author is that a
misconducted water system led Angkor demise. On the contrary, the lecturer
asserts that this is not true due to the fact that the system was not essential
for producing crops, and there were other water resources to make up water
shortages. Thus, ill-constructed water system might not be a persuasive reason
to explain the Angkor's fall.
Lastly, the writer claims that the increase in the number of maritime trade ruined economies of Angkor and hence caused the demise. The
professor debunks the reading passage by mentioning that coastal regions that traded maritime resources did
not traded agricultural products but luxuries, and this increase in the number of economic activities did not affect Angkor. Therefore, the changes in maritime trade is probably
not a viable reason to explain the fall.
