"But it was all in vain. Our terror could no longer be contained. Our nerves reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected us all." (Page 26). This is personification because madness is being described as though it has living traits, so as to infect people like a virus.
Answer:
Second option: Animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.
Third Option: People need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.
Explanation:
These two ideas best summarize the ideas presented in the excerpt. Speaker's main purpose is to persuade the audience not to buy animals from pet store instead adopt them from animal shelter, he (speaker) needs to give audience a reason why they should not buy from pet stores. This reason is provided in the second option i.e these animals suffer health problems. The third option is the conclusion and purpose of the speech. So this point too is required for summarizing the speech.
First and fourth options, although relevant, are less important when considering the purpose of the speech.
Fifth option is neither part of the speech, not speaker's purpose.

Here is my letter.
Hi Mr. Kyle,
This is just a short letter to express my gratitude for the wonderful opportunity you gave me for having me facilitated the award of the scholarship to study at the National University in Mexico City.
Dear professor Kyle, it was a great experience I would never forget.
It has been a couple of months and I just arrived from this great experience.
You do not have how important was for me to know more about another and fantastic culture as the Mexican culture. I had the chance to make new friends, to know different teachers and styles of teaching.
These were months of learning not only the school subjects, but how people my age think, believe, and aspires in life.
This was a life-changing experience, and for that, I will always be in debt to you Mr. Kyle.
Again, thank you very much for your help and hope I can visit you soon.
Best regards,
