Explanation:

• Story Part: The text shows the characters reflecting on past events (the pain of hot days without ice - cream) and planning for the future (stocking up on ice - cream next year). This indicates a resolution as it deals with the aftermath of a problem (lack of ice - cream on hot days) and a plan to avoid it in the future.
• Figurative Language: "There's simply nothing better in the world than a cold cone on a hot day" is a hyperbole. Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. Amora uses it to strongly emphasize how much she enjoys ice - cream on a hot day.
• Conflict Root: The text mentions "the pain of blisteringly hot days spent without tasty, soothing treats (ice - cream)". So the root of the conflict is a lack of ice - cream.

Answer:

• Story part: resolution
• Figurative language: hyperbole (because "There's simply nothing better in the world than a cold cone on a hot day" is an exaggeration to show love for ice - cream on a hot day)
• Conflict root: a. a lack of ice cream
