An aqueous solution of glucose or an aqueous solution of carbon dioxide at 25 Celsius and why?
Tempted to say glucose because it is a bigger and bulkier molecule. HOWEVER An aqueous solution of CO2 will form carbonic acid, and as a result form a lot more molecules if the starting solutions were at the same concentrations.
This is higher in priority than the size of the molecules, so I'd say that the solution of carbon dioxide has higher entropy.

Hm good point. Would the temperature of 25 degrees affect it and give a higher entropy due to more kinetic energy etc

No i guess, that's there because at room temp. (25deg) the co2 is very soluble. If you increase the temperature though, the solubility decreases, and at a point CO2 won't dissolve anymore. near this point the kinetic energy and all those would make the Glucose solution more entropic than the aqueous co2.
That's just a guess though, chemistry tests like to mention temperatures anyway.

Which has higher entropy? A solution of sodium chloride at 50 celsius or a solution of sodium chloride at 25 celsius.

50 degrees, no doubt. Sodium Chloride is a ionic salt, and its solubility should increase with temperature, so that problem we had with Co2 (a gas) shouldnt be here. The kinetic energy will be higher at 50 deg so the entropy will be higher here.
