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 that are used to develop the cultural setting of the passage are:

1. Allusion - The reference to "Abuela" suggests a cultural connection to Hispanic or Latin heritage, indicating the significance of family and cooking in that culture.
2. Imagery - Although not listed in the options, the phrase "savored the fire on my tongue" uses vivid imagery to evoke a sensory experience related to the food.

Since "imagery" is not an option, the closest fit in the context of cultural setting might be idiom (although it is not also directly stated in the passage, 'cooking up a storm' is an idiomatic expression related to cooking.)

If these are the only options provided, the most accurate pair based on figurative language present in the context of cultural setting is likely:

• Allusion
• Idiom

However, if you can only choose one type or if these are not satisfactory options, it would be best to select based on your interpretation of how these reflect cultural connections inherently within the passage.
