To solve this analogy, we need to find the relationship between the words "closed" and "emptiness" and then identify the word that has a similar relationship with "open."
The word "closed" suggests the absence of something, in this case, the absence of an opening or access. Therefore, the relationship between "closed" and "emptiness" is that when something is closed, it is empty or devoid of contents.
Now, we need to apply the same logic to find a similar relationship with "open." When something is open, it generally means there is access or a lack of obstruction. Based on this relationship, we can determine that the word that is synonymous with "emptiness" when something is open is "vacancy."
So, the answer to the analogy is: open is to vacancy.
