In this problem, we must give one anion each that has the same number of electrons as the listed cation.

We can see that all the listed cations have stable noble gas valence electron structure, that is, they have lost all their valence electrons. This means, we need to give anions from the previous period. These anions also form ions with stable noble gas structure, but they reach it by gaining electrons.
