Q 19: tender : acceptance :: _________ : _________
a) exhibit : inspection
b) publish : wisdom
c) authorize : approval
d) declare : observation

Given ans: a OK
I hav no idead of the bridge.
To tender is to offer, and an offer can later result in acceptance
To exhibit is to display/show something and this can later result in it being looked at or inspected.


Q 20: odometer : ________ :: Croesus : _________

a) intelligence / loyalty
b) surprise / monster
c) alphabet / dog
d) distance / wealth

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
c) boa constrictor : backbone
d) penguin : bird

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


Q 22: epithet : disparage :: _________ : _________
a) diminutive : respect
b) alias : mislead
c) code : simplify
d) hieroglyphic : mythologize

My ans: b OK
check: epithet is (usually)used to disparage someone, alais is used to mislead someone.
