a. odd or unusual people
b. like-minded people

Explanation:

The dictionary defines kindred spirits as "a person who has interests or attitudes that are similar to one's own". This aligns with the concept of "like - minded people".

• Option A: "odd or unusual people" is incorrect as the definition is about similarity in interests/attitudes, not oddity.
• Option C: "serious, focused people" is not related to the given definition.
• Option D: "well - educated people" is also not in line with the "similar interests/attitudes" definition.

Answer:

B. like - minded people
