Q 20: odometer : ________ :: Croesus : _________
a) intelligence / loyalty
b) surprise / monster

given ans: c d
Odometer & Croesus (a very rich man) seems to have no relation.
I agree with mrinalini01. d is the best answer:
An odometer shows distance traveled (i.e., "accumulated" miles/kilometers) / Croesus is a very wealthy man (i.e.,"accumulated" money)
Q 21: snake : invertebrate :: _________ : _________
a) dolphin : fish
b) eagle : talon

Its ok, but then (a) can also be the answer
No, (a) is not possible because a dophin is a mammal, not a fish.

a) diminutive : respect
b) alias : mislead
