2. A seeker has heard that the wiest guru in all of India lives atop India’s highest mountain.
So the seeker treks over hills until he reaches the fabled mountain. It is incredibly steep,
and more than once he slips and falls. By the time he reaches the top, he is full of cuts and
bruises, but there is the guru, sitting cross-legged in front of his cave.
“O, wise guru”, the seeker says, “I have come to you to ask what the secret of life is.”
“Ah, yes, the secret of life,” the guru says. “The secret of life is a tea cup.”
“A tea cup? I came all the way up here to find the meaning of life, and you tell me it’s a
tea cup!”

IX> Identify the class (n,v,adj,...) of every word in the following text
A man stumbles into a deep well and plummets a hundred feet before grasping a spindly root,
stopping his fall. His grip grows weaker and weaker, and in his desperation he cries out, “Is there
anybody up there?”

He looks up, and all he can see is a circle of sky. Suddenly, the clouds part and a beam of light shines
down on him. A deep voice thunders, “I, the Lord, am here. Let go of the root, and I will save you.”
The man thinks for a moment and then yells, “Is there anybody else up there?”
X. Give the morphemic analysis and morphological analysis for each of the following words.
