Hi!
To answer this question we need to know the definition of each term.
1- Personification is the action of attributing personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman. In this case it would be wrestler, drums as the author is personifying the drums as wrestlers.
2- A Simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind and it's used to make a description more emphatic or vivid. Therefore, in this case, the simile would be “[…] they are white like this piece of chalk" as the author is comparing men to a piece of chalk to show the reader how vivid and white the color of those men was.
3- A Metaphor is a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract. In this case, it would be “Fireflies went about with their tiny green lamps […]" as the author is talking about the symbolic "lamps" that fireflies have when referring to their bioluminescence.
4- An extended metaphor is when the author exploits a single metaphor or analogy at length through multiple linked tenors, vehicles, and grounds throughout a poem or story. In this case it would be the remaining option, earth, sky.
