In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author's claim that there are three reasons why the stranding of whales happen. However, in the lecture, the professor gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author's point.
First, the professor contends that it is unlikely that whales travel the ocean by the wind pattern. Stranding occurs in a variety of places which have unique wind patterns. This can't be explained. This casts doubt on the reading's passage that the whales are stranded because they follow the food carried by the flow of water Which is created by wind patterns.
Next, the professor insists that reaching to the beach because of suffering is problematic. This author's opinion cannot explain that why healthy whales are also stranded. If the whales don't have any disease, when they are close to the ashore, they can move back to the ocean by using their own power. This counters the reading passage's assertion that illness results in whale strandings because the whale is too weak to swim properly.
Finally, the professor maintains that it is not persuasive that whale can't detect moderate gradient of the coastline. If it is true, most of the whales should have been stranded in every beach. Also, whales which resides in shallow coastal water are seldom found in being stranded. This refutes the reading passage's argument that some geological features make whales disturbed because they can't perceive the slight slope by their sonar detecting systems.
