analogy help?

Question

the question is sweet:honey is either a synonym, function,degree,antonym,location,classification,part of a whole,cause and effect,characteristic quality,performer and action,performer and object and lastly action and object. i would really appreciate it if you could help me on this.

Answer 1

It's none of the above, because it is the beginning of a logical pair. Translated into English, "sweet:honey: means "sweet is to honey" [as x is to y]. Without the last part, it is gibberish. Since honey and sweet are synonyms, the phrase would be completed by another synonym. Example: sweet:honey = tart:lemon. Another way to describe it is "a quality" is to "a thing with that quality" as "another quality" is to "another thing with the other quality."

Answer 2
