Answer:
This is a simile.
The word 'like' makes it a simile instead of a metaphor. In this excerpt from "marigolds," The narrator is describing their mother's voice as calm and soothing by saying it sounds "like a cool, dark room in summer...." This adds to the overall characterization because the reader can better understand what the mother's voice sounds like. It creates a picture inside your head.
What is the underlined word? If it is shoe, it is a noun. If it is salesclerk, it is a noun. Always and easy are adjectives. Does is a verb.
