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.
The quotes and topics in Things Fall Apart are matched with specific figures of speech, including personification, simile, and metaphor.
The figure of speech used in the quotes and topics from Things Fall Apart are:
Personification is used when the Earth and Sky are given human characteristics or actions. The quote about being white like the chalk is a simile because it compares two things using 'like' or 'as'. The quote about fireflies having tiny green lamps is a metaphor because it attributes the characteristics of tiny green lamps to the fireflies. Lastly, the use of the words wrestler and drums in a metaphorical sense means that they are representing something else.

About thee, as wild vines, about a tree,
Put out broad leaves, and soon there's nought to see
Except the straggling green which hides the wood.
Yet, O my palm-tree, be it understood
I will not have my thoughts instead of thee
Who art dearer, better! Rather, instantly
Renew thy presence; as a strong tree should,
Rustle thy boughs and set thy trunk all bare,
Answer:
"My thoughts do twine & bud About the thee,as wild vines, about a tree"
