Answer 1

The two types of figurative language used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are idiom and metaphor.

1. Idiom - Phrases like "cooking up a storm" are idiomatic expressions that provide insight into the cultural significance of cooking in the family setting.
2. Metaphor - Phrases like "I savored the fire on my tongue" metaphorically describe the taste of the salsa, evoking rich imagery related to the culture surrounding food.

While "personification" could seem applicable with the concept of "fire," it's more about sensory experience than personification itself in this context.
