▶ Your Answer :
In
the reading passage, the roles of Lambeosaurus’s crests can be fully explained
by three theories. However, the professor in the lecture gives several
reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point. First,
the professor contends that it is doubtful that the crests was used to attract
mates. This is because an animal that is similar to Lambeosaurus attracts mate through the behavior and the sense of sound. To
be specific, crocodiles attract the mate of opposite gender by lifting their
hands and making noise. Thus, experts think
that Lambeosaurus also would have used the similar method. This casts doubt on
the reading passage’s assertion that the use of the crests is to attract
females.
Next,
the professor insists that it is untrue that the purpose of the crests was to
combat. There are sings that fossils shows that Lambeosaurus fought backward not
forward. Also, the reason is that Lambeosaurus
had hollow crests unlike Triceratops. This counters the reading passage’s
suggestion that the crest was used to combat.
Finally,
the professor argues that it is wrong to say that the crests existed for
supplying air. This is supposed by the fact that
Lambeosaurus’s crests were very small compared to the size of lambeosaurus.
Therefore, it was not useful to supply air. Besides, it is impossible for Lambeosaurus
to keep their heads underwater for lengthy period of time. Instead, Lambeosaurus just took a deep breath to store air. This refutes the reading passage’s claim
that in order to supply air, crests existed at that time.
