The figurative language type used in the excerpt is metaphor, I know this because it compares the mother's voice using like or as. In the text it says " was like a cool, dark room in a summer - peaceful, soothing, quiet." It says that the mother's voice was "like" something that couldn't normally be used as descriptive words for a voice.

Answer:

I believe the error to be "calm and cool."

Explanation:

Since the speaker is trying to modify the verb "walked" in order to indicate the manner in which it was done, the right thing to do would be using adverbs. "Calm and cool" are adjectives and should, as such, modify nouns. If, however, we transform them into adverbs by ending the suffix -ly (calmy and coolly), the sentence will be correct.
