Answer: Metaphor
Explanation:
A Metaphor helps describe a character or variable by relating it to another character or Variable that is seemly unrelated to it but bears certain characteristics to it for comparison sake.
It essentially says one thing is another so that the original thing can be understood better.
For example, "every family has a black sheep". It is not saying that every family will have a sheep which is black but rather saying that at least one member of each family behaves differently from the rest.
In the above extract from Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run", Squeaky who is Raymond's sister is using a metaphor to describe her brother's penchant for using the curb as a Circus clown uses a rope high in the air.

Answer:
If you need a sentence of your own, you can use this clause <em>Which is my favorite sport</em> as a non-restrictive relative clause to give some additional information about a sport. For example,
Cycling, which is my favorite sport, has never been absent from the Olympic program.
Explanation:
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
A dependent clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. It does not express a complete thought, so it is not a sentence and can't stand alone.
<em>Which is my favorite sport</em> is a dependent clause as it cannot stand as a sentence by itself.
So you need to add an independent clause to have a complex sentence.
<em>Cycling has never been absent from the Olympic program</em> is an independent clause. You add your clause <em>which is my favorite sport</em> simply to give some additional information about cycling.
