Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to specify different fonts for paragraphs using CSS.
Comments are added to both HTML and CSS to explain each section of the code.
In the CSS <style> block, two CSS classes are defined: .monospace and .cursive.
The .monospace class sets the font family to "Lucida Console", Courier, and generic monospace fonts.
The .cursive class sets the font family to a generic cursive font.
Each paragraph element (<p>) in the HTML is assigned one of these CSS classes, resulting in different font styles being applied to each paragraph.
