Answer 1

The two correct types of figurative language used in the paragraph are:

1. Simile - "as beautiful as a summer sunset"
2. Hyperbole - "the prettiest butterfly I’d ever seen in my life"

These phrases use comparison (simile) and exaggerated statements (hyperbole) to convey the beauty of the butterfly.
