Answer 1

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

• idiom: "cooking up a storm" is an idiomatic expression that suggests cooking a lot or with great energy.
• hyperbole: "I savored the fire on my tongue" exaggerates the experience of spiciness for effect.

Therefore, the correct response is idiom and hyperbole.
