A direct current is applied to a solution of CaBr^2, and a gas is evolved from one of the electrodes.

a. Is the gas involved at the anode or the cathode
b. What is the gas?

I am assuming this is an aqueous solution of CaBr2.
Hydrogen gas is evolved at the cathode (the negative electrode) and Br2 is evolved at the anode (the positive electrode).
