An ionic bond consists of a metal and a nonmetal. A covalent bond consists of two nonmetals. Therefore, of the above, CrBr3 would be the only ionic bond. The rest are covalently bound.

H2S = covalent; it is a gas; even when dissolved in water, it is only slightly ionized.
SO3 = covalent
CrBr3 = ? I think the teacher wants you to say ionic. The actual ionic compound is Cr(H2O)6Cl3, which dissolves in water to Cr(H2O)6 3+ + 3Br-. If you had pure, anhydrous CrBr3, that would be a covalent compound insoluble in water.
PCl5 = covalent
