correct me if im wrong anyone, but i believe these are the answers.

1. Idiom
2. Simile
3. Personification

quick explanation:
1. idioms are basically phrases that means something different than its literal meaning “spinning tales” which in this case, means making up a story.
2. similes are comparing two unlike things including the words like or as. and “like” in this sentence is what makes this a simile since its comparing nursery rhymes and a wildfire.
3. personification is giving any nonliving thing human traits and in this case, the deadly disease was “grabbing hold” of Europe, which means that the disease basically affected Europe (like a pandemic)

hope this helped!
