Ca 2+ is a spectator ion; this should simplify things. The acid is the HI that gives off the proton and CaO is the proton acceptor, making it the base.

Hi Emily,
Another non perfect way of looking at CaO as the base is knowing that O is oftentimes basic.
Oftentimes, things with H are acidic. This is not always true, but in this case the compound has the name acid in it.

Re: J11c
For the question overall why is it that they didn't specify whether they wanted the Lewis or Bronsted acid or base? Does it matter?

What is a spectator ion in relation to acids and bases? How would you identify one?
