What kind of relationship between two or more things is seen through making comparisons?

Comparison shows how two or more things are similar. Similarity is the relationship. There is a comparison relationship between a marble, a baseball, and a beach ball. The similarity relationship is they are all round. Contrast shows how two or more things are dissimilar. There is NOT a comparison relationship between a box, a hammer, and a fingernail file. While they may have some similar qualities, they cannot be compared because they are not similar enough. Here is a tricky question-- How is a doughnut, a garden hose, and a wedding ring are similar (compare) ? Answer - Comparison: They all have a hole in the middle that goes all the way through to the other side. If I added a bucket to this list, the bucket would be dissimilar because the hole is only on one side and does not go all the way through. Here is another tricky question: How does a fishing net, a strainer to drain water from cooked spaghetti, and fishnet stockings compare and contrast? The comparison is they all have small holes that go through to the other side. But they are dissimilar because they are made of different materials, their sizes and hardness are different, and they are used for different purposes.
