I believe that number 2 is actually correct. You see, number 2 does not contain personification instead it has a simily :)

Answer: 2. "and the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture."

Explanation: Personification is a figure of speech in which the writer gives human characteristics to nonhuman objects, or also it can be the representation of something abstract in a human form. In the given sentences we can see three examples of personification, in the first sentence, the stars shiver, in the third one, the sight tries to find her and in the last one, the soul isn't satisfied. In the second sentence there is no personification, just a simile.
