agreei Justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet is talking about the crocodile that lives in the river Nile. He tells us that the crocodile improves his looks by pouring water on his body which makes it shine and the scales appear golden under the rays of the sun. This will make him look very attractive to the fishes that he wants to prey on.

Answer 2

Yes, I do agree with the statement that 'Appearances can be deceptive'.

The cheerful look and the gentle smile of the crocodile tends to deceive the fishes. It's main intention is to lure the fish into its open mouth.

Similarly, people who always praise you or look good need not always be good. Appearance does not display the character of a person.
