Explanation

In the first one the “Thank You Ma’am”, Langston used "he, the boy,..." and also showed the character's thought "After he had dried his face and not knowing what else to do dried it again; He could make a dash for it down the hall, ...". So that we know it's the third-person-omniscient POV.

In the second one, Mark Twain used the words "your, you" so we know it is the second-person POV.

In the third one, although the narrator used the word "you", he put it in the phrase " even as you watched it." That's mean he's putting you into the character's POV, meaning that if you were there, you'll do the same as the characters.

In the fourth one, the narrator used "The children, them" so we know it's a third-person POV.

And the last one, the narrator shown us the conversation between the characters, and also express their act, so it is third-person-limited/omniscient POV.

So, extruding those third person somethings..., the Mark Twain, “Advice to Youth” is the second-person POV.
