Identify what defines a strong acid: a compound that completely dissociates in water to release H\textsuperscript{+} ions.
Review each compound to determine if it contains a halogen (elements from Group 17: F, Cl, Br, I, At).
Check if the compound is an acid and if it is strong. For example, HBr is a hydrogen halide known to be a strong acid.
Analyze Li2O: it contains lithium and oxygen, no halogen, and is a basic oxide, not an acid.
Analyze H2S: it contains hydrogen and sulfur, no halogen, and is a weak acid; LiBr contains lithium and bromine (a halogen) but is a salt, not an acid.
