En général c'est bon, mais pourquoi la forme continue dans les premières parties ?
- If she had set the alarm, …
Deux petites corrections en plus:
- « Is it true » veut dire « est-il vrai »; le mot juste ici était « correct ».
- L'orthographe de « consentrating » n'est pas correcte – à vérifier.

Bonsoir,
Also...
Look again at sentence 3: the construction is hadn't + past participle. You also need to change the preposition.
In number 5 'had been knowing' is not correct, think again. Also, 'ran' is not the past participle of 'run'.
