Explanation:
When we analyse this passage,
1) The passage is in present tense. So, change all past tense verbs to present tense.
2) According to Subject-Verb agreement, a singular noun will be followed by a plural verb. So, correct those mistakes as well.
3) According to grammar ‘tenses’ rules, change ‘looks’ into ‘looking’.
4) Prepositions must agree with the noun. So, the appropriate preposition here is ‘on’. So, change ’In‘ to ‘On’.
5) There are many Poetic Devices. So, change ‘Device’ to ‘Devices’.
6) ‘Them’ refers to the people. So, change ’of’ to ‘with’ as the feelings expressed can only be shared with the people, not of the people.
