2. Analyze the following short paragraph on the use of part of speech.
"The old library, located at the end of the cobblestone street, exudes an aura of nostalgia and
wisdom. Its weathered wooden shelves house a vast collection of books that whisper stories from the
past. Visitors can be seen wandering through the narrow aisles, their fingers tracing the spines of the
ancient tomes. The librarian, a kind and gentle soul with silver hair, moves gracefully between the
shelves, assisting eager readers in their quests for knowledge. Sunlight filters through the dusty
windows, casting a warm glow on the well-worn carpets. In this tranquil sanctuary, time seems to
slow down, allowing anyone who enters to escape into the enchanting world of literature."
