Answer 1

The two correct answers for the type of figurative language used in the paragraph are:

1. Simile - "as beautiful as a summer sunset" is a simile because it compares the beauty of the butterfly to a summer sunset using "as."
2. Personification - "it danced across the lawn" gives the butterfly human-like qualities, suggesting it is dancing.

So the correct responses are "simile" and "personification."
