scarce, he was forced to make a plan to trek over to another river a short distance from there.

Answer 2

The sentence implies that, Crocodile is likely still as powerful as he once was.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

"Crocodile was, in the days when animals still could talk, the acknowledged foreman of all water creatures and if one should judge from appearances one would say that he still is." If we look at the details of this sentence, we will notice that crocodile is referred to as ‘foreman.’

Foreman means the one who leads, the one who’s team leader. Here, crocodile is addressed as a boss of all other water creatures. The last line states that ‘he still is’ which means in past he was a leader, and even in present he is still a leader.
