Answer 1) Because, odds with evens would be odd, so odds+odds=evens.
Answer 2) Relating this to an example, if you want to add 5 + 7, you could take 1 off each of these odd numbers, making them even. Your equation will now be 4 + 6, but you also have to add 2 to you answer because of that's the amount you took off to make the numbers even. You equation will now be 4 + 6 + 2, which is 12.

None. Any two odd numbers add up to an even number.

No. No matter what you use, the sum of an odd number and an even number will always be odd.
Two odd numbers always sum to an even number. Always. Two even numbers always sum to an even number, and an odd number and an even number always sum to an odd number.
Unless this is a trick question, none of them do. Zero is an even number, so therefore no positive odd number and negative equivalent will add to form an odd number. Similarly, negative odd numbers will add to form negative even numbers, and positive odd numbers will add to equal positive even numbers.
