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

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