Question

PLZZZ HELP I NEED THIS IN TWO DAYS PLZZ HELP!

In this poem by Lewis Carroll, what do the words “gently smiling jaws” suggest about the crocodile?


How Doth the Little Crocodile
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On ev'ry golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!


A.
He is friendly.

B.
He is ferocious.

C.
He is irritated.

D.
He is sorrowful.

E.
He is clean.

Answer 1

Do NOT choose "He is Friendly". Go with "He is Ferocious"

Step-by-step explanation:

Dont be mislead by the tone. The author is spining the natural preditorial instinct of the crocodie.

Answer 2

I think he is friendly because "he welcomes little fishes in

with gently smiling jaws!"
