Refer to the table below. Credits to https://terpconnect.umd.edu/~wbreslyn/chemistry/naming/IonicCharge2.jpg
Cations with (+ ) charges lose electrons in order to obtain an octet (8 valence electrons) when they ionically bond with another ion. We're looking for the ions that loses electrons here. So, from the table:
Al 3+ , S 2- , O 2-, Ag + , Ne ( noble gas, no charge)
Since Al and Ag has (+) charges, they are going to lose electrons to form ionic bonds with other atoms.
