"Honeyed" means sweet or sweetened as with honey. A figurative use is shown in the example "honeyed words," meaning sweet, loving words. The context will show whether the words are sincerely sweet or falsely sweet, as when someone speaks honeyed words but is really only pretending to be kind and sweet.

Which of the following can be read differently by different readers the literal meaning of a word or the figurative meanings of the same word?

Your question presupposes that there is one "literal meaning" to the word in question whereas there are a number of "figurative meanings". Where there are multiple meanings they can be read differently. It doesn't matter whether they are literal or figurative; it is quite possible for two literal meanings of the same word to be read differently. E.g. "I know the ship has a bow, but I don't know who it was that tied it."Figurative. ._.
