The two types of figurative language that are used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are simile and metaphor.
- Simile: A comparison using "like" or "as," although not directly used in the passage, the language evokes sensory experiences.
- Metaphor: The phrase "cooking up a storm" is a metaphor that conveys the intensity of Abuela’s cooking.
However, based on the options given, only simile is clearly applicable, since the direct examples failed to be highlighted as similes or metaphors in the text. Allusion, personification, and idiom don't apply to the specifics of the passage.
Since simile is not explicitly present but might be implied, and "cooking up a storm” is more of an idiom, let's clarify:
The correct answer would then depend on identifying what metaphors might relate here, though those present don't explicitly stand out as so.
Therefore, from your given options, idiom (as in "cooking up a storm" meaning to prepare a lot of food) and simile would ideally be related to your prompt's context.
To best encapsulate, it appears the focus is directly on cultural implications found through expressions of intense cooking, relevant particularly to cultural celebrations.
If you must strictly adhere to the options, pick idiom and metaphor then.
