This video explains how to work out which rests are missing - a typical grade 5 music theory exam question.
The choice of rests depends on two things - how many beats you need to fill the bar AND what the main beat of the music is - you need to understand exactly what the time signature represents.
For example, in 3/4, there are 3 main beats per bar (it's triple time), and the rests should reflect that. In 6/8, although there are the same number of notes per bar overall, 6/8 is actually duple time (with 2 dotted crotchet beats per bar). This means that the rests used will be different in 6/8 compared to 3/4.
