Answer:

Keep in mind that in CO2, Oxygen is more electronegative, so the dipole moments are facing opposite directions (away from the central atom of Carbon), making the molecule polar. In H2O, Oxygen is more electronegative, so the dipole moments would face inwards towards oxygen and consequently cancel out.
