Answer:
The answer is speak or reply
Explanation:
It's clear when you take the following statement into consideration "...she quizzit Bruh Gator, "Where you goin to?" Bruh Gator, he don't bother crack he teeth at Sis Alligator. He go on long fixin up heself."
From the excerpt, the Sis Alligator asked a question. Obviously she was expecting a reply. Seeing a statement like he didn't BOTHER crack his teeth, gives an idea that he didn't bother giving a reply.
It is then solidified with the final statement which says "he went on fixing up herself"
Crack his teeth could literally be seen as he didn't open his mouth at all.
With the above explanation, the answer is clearly he didn't speak or reply.
