Question

Not surprisingly, Abuela was busy cooking up a storm for our family dinner. I spied the freshly made salsa on the counter and couldn’t resist sneaking a spoonful. It was superb as always, and I savored the fire on my tongue.

Answer 1

The two types of figurative language used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are:

• Personification (given the context that Abuela is actively cooking and the salsa could be described in a lively manner),
• Idiom (with phrases like "cooking up a storm" indicating a cultural expression related to cooking).

However, if you must select two from the provided options considering the context and common literary devices, "personification" and "idiom" would be the most appropriate choices.
