Default Past Simple Time Reference

Hi, thankyou for your explanations as they are clear to understand and follow:

My question here is if I have answered the following past simple sentences correctly (my answers are in capitals): I have to choose one of the following and match it to the sentence:

Reported Speech , past state , 2nd conditional , present regret/wish , past habit , polite refusal , completed action at a specified time

1. She said she was 22 years old - PAST STATE

2. I visited my aunt last week- PAST STATE

3. France was a monarchy- REPORTED SPEECH

4. If I had a boat , I'd sail around the world- 2nd CONDITIONAL

Thankyou for your help and advice.
