Explanation:

Figurative languages are those literary devices used by writers in making their works more attractive and provide a colorful description of the common words. The use of such a mechanism allows the writer to present a much more attractive description of the things he/ she want to say.

In the given phrases from Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, the use of the figurative language is numerous. But despite all other options being examples of figurative languages, the phrase "expensive black folds" is not a figurative language. Rather, it simply states a direct object, that is the black veil of Janie on the day of her husband Joe's funeral.
