    The reading passage suggests the humpback whales are navigated by stars for migration. However, the professor argues that the ratiocinations provided by reading passage is not reliable.

    Firstly, the positive correlation between intelligence and star navigation ability has not been proved. The professor uses the duck as the example to disprove the reading passage. Duck is the animal adopting star as navigation. However, ducks don’t occupy high intelligence but navigated by stars instinctively.

    Secondly, the humpback whales may use earth magnetic to notch up immigration instead of stars. The professor points out many sea animals have Bio magnetite which is used to recognize earth magnetism. So do humpback whales. Thus, he conjects that humpback whales may also use Bio magnetite to sense the earth magnetism to navigate themselves but not the stars.

    Finally, whales may float up for predating instead of observing stars. The professor adopts sharks as example to refute the reading passage. Sharks don’t immigrate but they also float up on the sea for hunting. Thus whales may have same purpose.

    In a conclusion, before a further detail research, we can’t conclude that whales use stars to undergo their immigration.

    The reading passage suggests the (delete) humpback whales are (delete) navigated by stars for migration (navigate by stars when migrating). However, the professor argues that the ratiocinations provided by (the logic of the) reading passage is not reliable (do you agree of disagree?).

    Firstly, the positive correlation between intelligence and star navigation ability has not been proved. The professor uses the duck as the (article error) example to disprove the reading passage. Duck is the animal adopting star as navigation. (rewrite sentence, unclear) However, ducks don’t occupy high intelligence but navigated by stars instinctively.

    Secondly, the humpback whales may use earth magnetic to notch up immigration instead of stars. The professor points out many sea animals have Bio magnetite which is used to recognize earth magnetism. So do humpback whales. Thus, he conjects that humpback whales may also use Bio magnetite to sense the earth magnetism to navigate themselves but not the stars.

    Finally, whales may float up for predating instead of observing stars. The professor adopts sharks as example to refute the reading passage. Sharks don’t immigrate but they also float up on the sea for hunting. Thus whales may have same purpose.

    In a conclusion, before a further detail research, we can’t conclude that whales use stars to undergo their immigration.

    The reading passage suggests humpback whales are navigated by stars when migrating. However, the professor disagrees and refutes the reading passage’s reasons as following.

    Firstly, the reading passage suggests a positive correlation between intelligence and star navigation ability. The professor argues that the relationship is not reliable because some animals navigated by stars hold a general intelligence. For example, Ducks are the animals used stars as navigation but they don’t own high intelligence. So, it seems no correlation between intelligence and navigated by stars.

    Secondly, the reading passage argues stars are only choice for the whales to be navigated in the sea because landmarks are not available in the ocean. The professor points out many sea animals have Bio magnetite which is used to sense earth magnetism. So do humpback whales have. Thus, he conjects that humpback whales may also use Bio magnetite to feel the earth magnetism to navigate themselves.

    Finally, the reading passage claims the whales watch stars by spyhopping. However, the professor casts doubt on this conclusion because sharks also skyhop during hunting. So, there is no mandatory connection between skyhopping and navigating by stars.

    In a conclusion, before a further detail research, we can’t conclude that whales navigated by stars.

    The reading passage suggests humpback whales are navigated (navigate) by stars when migrating. However, the professor disagrees and refutes the reading passage’s reasons as following (passage with the following arguments).

    Firstly, the reading passage suggests a positive correlation between intelligence and star navigation ability. The professor argues that the relationship is not reliable because some animals navigated by stars (that navigate by stars) hold (only have) a general (modest) intelligence. For example, Ducks are the animals used (use) stars as navigation but they don’t own high intelligence (are not highly intelligent). So, it seems no correlation between intelligence and navigated by stars (there is no correlation between intelligence and ability to navigate using stars).

    Secondly, the reading passage argues stars are the only choice for the whales to be navigated (for whales to navigate) in the sea because landmarks are not available in the ocean. The professor points out many sea animals, including humpback whales, have Bio magnetite which is used to sense earth magnetism. So do humpback whales have. (delete) Thus, he conjects (suggests) that (delete) humpback whales may also use Bio magnetite to feel the earth magnetism to navigate themselves.

    Finally, the reading passage claims the (delete) whales watch stars by spyhopping (skyhopping). However, the professor casts doubt on this conclusion because sharks also skyhop during hunting. So, there is no mandatory connection between skyhopping and navigating by stars.

    In a (delete) conclusion, before a further detail (without further detailed) research, we can’t (cannot) conclude that whales navigated (navigate) by stars.
