Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Personification is giving human like characteristics or actions to a non-human things.
Excerpt 1 just talks about how scary and awful the Red Death is, but it doesn't really make it seem human.
Excerpt 2 describes the Red Death like a really scary looking masked person looking thing, kind of like a scythe. The Red Death is a non-human thing though, but Poe is making it seem human. This is personification.
Excerpt 3 talks about a face, vesture, brow, etc. These are all things that humans usually have. This is a personification.
Excerpt 4 is just describing a scary place, but it doesn't really talk about anything human, and it doesn't seem to be talking about the Red Death at all.
Therefore, the answer is Excerpt 2 and Excerpt 3.
Have a wonderful day! :D

<u>A persuasive speech</u>.
A persuasive speech is defined as <em>a specific type of speech in which the speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to accept his or her point of view</em><em>. </em>Since what you're looking for is to <u>convince</u> your audience not to drop out of school, then this speech would be the most appropiate.
Definitely not an extemporaneous speech as this is carried out or performed with little or no preparation and that would not push your audience to want to stay in school. Not an entertaining speech because entertaining an audience is not the same as convincing them.
Therefore, you should go with a persuasive speech.
