See the answer below.

Work Step by Step

$K^{2+}, Al^{4+}$ K and Al are in groups 1 and 13 respectively, so removing 2 and 4 electrons from each, respectively would require removing one electron from an inner shell. $F^{2-}$ F is in group 17, so adding two electrons would require adding one to a new shell.
