Below.

Explanation:

#NF_3 = 3sigma#

#CS_2 = 2sigma + 2pi#

#ClF_5 = 5sigma#

#H"C"Cl_3 = 4sigma#

#XeF_2 = 2sigma#

Imagine the structures in your head, using knowledge of how many bonds each atom can have. A single bond is a #sigma#, a double bond is #sigma + pi#, a triple bond is #sigma + 2pi#. Work with this information through each molecule and you should get the answers.
