Answer 1

The two types of figurative language used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are simile and metaphor.

However, the specific examples given in the passage do not explicitly include similes or metaphors. The description of the salsa and the sensation of savoring "the fire on my tongue" is more of a metaphorical expression rather than a direct comparison (simile).

If you need to choose from the options provided and specifically look for elements that contribute to the cultural ambiance (like food and experience descriptions), then metaphor is the best choice.

If we strictly consider standard definitions, you might reconsider the choices, as none of the options truly reflect what is present in the passage concerning its sensory and emotional aspects.
