Answer 1

In the paragraph, the two types of figurative language used are:

1. Simile - This is evident in the comparison "as beautiful as a summer sunset."
2. Personification - This is implied in the phrase "it danced across the lawn," which gives the butterfly human-like qualities.

So, the correct answers are simile and personification.
