What do you not understand about this? Look for the ion that has an H on one side and one fewer H on the other side. That's all there is to it.
so which one is the acid and which one is the base
The one with more H is the acid and the one with one fewer H is the base.
HSO4^- is the acid. SO4^2- is the base.
SO3^2- is the base; HSO3^- is the acid.
HSO4^- is the acid. SO4^2- is the base.
SO3^2- is the base; HSO3^- is the acid.
