Answer 2: All for one and one for all. ALL except FOR ONE of the first four words are repeated.

Hi Nivedhitha
Hey it is a puzzle, you just need to find the name of the animal.... So if we use the name of Alec, it gives us the name of the animal Alec ate her [Alligator]...
So we can simply forget the others and let alec enjoy his meal.
