anonymous · Answer

I would consider this a function analogy.

littlebird · Answer

I have never learned about this, but I'd say function analogy because water's function is to moisten and spades dig

littlebird · Answer

Synonyms are words that have the same meaning. Water does not mean the same thing as moisten

even though the have different definitions, they are not antonyms/opposites

It cant be a description because moisten doesnt really describe water
