Answer: (number of nominations, number of awards) and (temperature, number of car rentals).
Reason: for an intercept to be meaningful we want x=0 and y=0 to be realistic values. Nominations and awards can both be zero, and temperature and car rentals can also reasonably be zero (so both the y‑intercept and x‑intercept can have sensible interpretations). Age vs weight (weight = 0 is not realistic) and years of experience vs starting salary (a starting salary of $0 is generally not meaningful) are not good choices.
