I chose 1.c, 2.c, 3.a, 4.a, 5.b but I were not sure. I know in sentence 4, answers d is right.Why don't we use "take" here? Does "take" have position behind it?
I hope you will help me. Thank you very much!

1c is okay, but the best option is d. 'besides = in addition to...
2c is incorrect. 'It's time you went to bed' is correct when speaking about what the person ought to do.
You are correct about 3a.
4d is correct. Take a look at this:
What does fetch mean?
5b is correct - the medals were won earlier that day.

Thanks for your answers!
5. I thinks the medals were won before the 9 o'cock morning news, it's specific time. So why don't we use 'won', choose a?

* In your writing "What does fetch mean?", you say that "My friend will come from his house to bring me to the bus station and " My friend will come from his house to take me to the bus station" are close meaning but "My friend will come to bring me to the bus station from his house" and "My friend will come to take me to bus station from his house" are quite different( according to your explanations). Why? I don't understand. I think they're also close.

* What helps we understand that "My friend will come to bring me to the bus station from his house" means" First you must be telling this to a third person who is going to be at the bus station to meet you. Then your friend has to be at the bus station with them, leave them to come and fetch you, go to his house with you, then go to the bus station with you to meet the other person!!!!"

5 - The time the medals were won is not specified.
'won' is acceptable but not the best option here.

Please read the entire thread 'fetch'. A full explanation is given.
