sugar - polar
alcohol - polar (ethyl alcohol behaves not too differently from H2O, NB there are long chain alcohols that dissolve well in non-polar solvents)
margarine - non polar

That one is easy! Your best clue is: is it water soluble?

Sugar and alcohol are polar.

Margarine is non polar! Try to dissolve it in water: it wont!
