The clue that can be used to identify a chemical reaction as a replacement reaction is:

The reaction has two reactants with ions that seem to switch places.

In a replacement reaction (also known as a single replacement or double replacement reaction), ions in compounds swap partners, which is indicative of the "switching places" behavior described.
