In "their eyes were Watching God", Hurston who is trying to recognize that folk culture which is represented in the identification of black characters. Their identification is portrayed with "front-porch culture" the same case applies to their language. They go together hand in hand, as the way font porch represents the community and its life.
The language is different from white American, that is why it places the black's identification apart. Hurston alternates between Black English as well as sophisticated speech. The picture that Jane has two identities is enhanced. Since she is part of white, she had a good education, lived a good life, has a straight hair and she is capable of speaking of being sophisticated.
She relies on her dialect of Black English so as to identify with other black people who are in her community.

It is either C or D i think. Maybe if you had any if these choices u can choose them now. I mostly feel it is C but still also D since the figurative language is used in that way. It may be D tho cuz it DESCRIBES the weather. I hope this is helpful to u ;( and good luck in ur unit test
