A "The spring of 1998 was the Halley’s Comet of desert wildflower years." (lines 1–2)
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's scientific essey "Called Out". It describes events in the spring of 1998 and gives insight on magnificent and complex life cycle of desert plants.

This would be third person limited
explanation: third person limited is where it’s told from a third person pov and you know the thoughts and feelings of one specific character, which in this case it would be Kalil
