The two types of figurative language used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are **allusion** and **imagery**. However, since "imagery" is not one of the options you provided, it’s important to analyze the given choices more carefully.
In the context of the options you provided:
1. **Allusion**: This could be considered because the mention of "Abuela" and "salsa" suggests cultural references related to family and Hispanic cuisine.
2. **Imagery**: Although not listed, the phrase "fire on my tongue" evokes sensory experiences of taste and feeling, creating vivid imagery.
Since "imagery" is not among the options, we may focus on "allusion".
As for specific selections from the choices:
- If only picking from the available options, go with **allusion** for the cultural reference and **idiom** might be included as it signifies a common understanding of experiences (though it doesn't specifically highlight the cultural aspect).
However, without the option of "imagery," please select **allusion and idiom** as the closest two choices based on the context provided.
