For each of the following pairs, identify which element tends to attract electron density from the other in a covalent bond and enter the four letters corresponding to these choices (e.g. ACEG, BDFH, etc.)
A) O and B) C
C) O and D) H
E) Hg and F) C
G) Si and H) Cl
Does this have any thing to do with electronegativity?

It has EVERYTHING to do with electronegativity.
The more EN element will attract the electrons more so than the less EN one.
