Certainly! The phrase you're referring to is called an incomplete analogy. In this case, the analogy is comparing Harriet Tubman's actions to something else. To complete the analogy, we need to find a suitable ending that describes how Tubman was like while cajoling and encouraging the runaways.

To do that, we can look at the characteristics or actions of Harriet Tubman during her role as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. Tubman was known for her bravery, determination, and leadership. She risked her own freedom and safety to guide enslaved individuals to freedom, often traveling long distances and facing numerous dangers.

Given these qualities, we could complete the analogy by saying: "Cajoling and encouraging the runaways, Tubman was like a guiding light, leading them towards their path to freedom." This analogy emphasizes Tubman's role as a source of guidance and inspiration for those seeking freedom.
