Question

Not surprisingly, Abuela was busy cooking up a storm for our family dinner. I spied the freshly made salsa on the counter and couldn’t resist sneaking a spoonful. It was superb as always, and I savored the fire on my tongue.

Answer 1

The two types of figurative language that are used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are:

1. **Metaphor** - The phrase "cooking up a storm" suggests a vigorous activity without using "like" or "as," emphasizing the busy and lively environment of cooking.

2. **Imagery** - The description of the "freshly made salsa" and "fire on my tongue" evokes sensory perceptions, enhancing the cultural ambiance of the setting.

Since imagery is not provided as an option, if I have to select from the given choices, **hyperbole** could be a fit as it often amplifies the effect of the description (though it's not directly used here in the provided text, one might suggest it's implied through the excitement of the cooking).

Thus, **the best choices from the given options are:**

- **hyperbole**
- **idiom** (if we consider "cooking up a storm" as a common phrase representing vigorous activity).
