Verbs(all verbs, not just lexical verbs, that is the ones carrying meaning): was, sitting, had, seen, given, looked, could be, came, said, make up, got. Notice some of the verbs are repeated, you should underline every time they appear. Remember that there is as many verbs as there are clauses or sentences. Also if you identify a subject of each clause, the verb is the one that follows, since it states the action or state.

Adjectives( words used to describe people, objects or situations): old, familiar, frog-like, tortoise-like, huntched-up (these last three are phrases rather than adjectives, but in the passage they are functioning as adjectives), pale, shrewd.

Abstract nouns( they refer to concepts, diferent from concrete nouns which refer to things, people and animals): attitude, law, power, convictions.

Adverbs are those words that modify a verb or clause or sentences. They change or influence the meaning of the verb in the sentence.

On the other hand, adjectives help modify a noun and further help define nouns and pronouns. They deal with the nouns of the sentence while adverbs are based of the verbs.

Among the given sentences, sentences 2,6, and 8 are adjectives for they modify the noun(dinner, lobsters, arrivals) in their sentences whereas sentences 1,3,4,5, and 7 are adverbs as they modify the verb(feels, funny, place, run, read) in the sentences.
