Please.. which gets oxideized?

There is a little trick my chem teacher taught me. LEO GER. It sounds stupid but it works. Lose Electrons Oxidized, Gain Electrons Reduced. If you have a positive charge then you would need to gain electrons which means that element is reduced. If you have a negative charge then you need to lose electrons and be reduced.
