This molecular hybridization question is so confusing.

My teacher did not go this in-depth with this kind of stuff. I am still very confused on how to solve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

what is kind of a hybrid orbital do you expect between two oxygen atoms singly bonded?

What is the hybridization state for the two carbon atoms participating in a triple bond?

One extra hint: hybridization alone isn't the entire answer.  You also need to think about geometry.
