▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that there are
numerous plausible explanations for the red rain in Kerala. On the other hand, the lecturer
brings up several points that contradict this statement.
First of all, the speaker argues that it is
improbable that the blood of bats is a lucid reason. If the blood were
the genuine cause, millions of bats must have died simultaneously. However, specialists
did not found its remnants such as wings and bones. This casts doubt on the
reading passage’s claim that the red rain holds tremendous amounts of bats blood
as a study revealed the presence of blood in the rain sample.
In addition, the speaker insists that the
theory of volcanic eruption is totally absurd because red rain was occurred
only in Kerala, not the Philippines. Also, if volcanic eruption had been
concrete cause, it would have also affected other countries, such as Malaysia,
Vietnam and even the Philippines. However, those countries were not influenced. This
counters the reading passage’s assertion that volcanic eruption accounts of the
red rain because acidic dust created by eruption moved
out directly into the atmosphere of Kerala.
Finally, the lecturer maintains that
chemical pollutions cannot be a clear evidence. Since
there are a few factories, so it cannot generate much chemical contaminations.
Further, any harmful materials did not discovered in those areas where hold
dirty chimney. This refutes the reading passage’s explanation that the
myriad of chemicals made the rain have red color since factories did
not made efforts to filter noxious gases, causing red rain.
