Ответ:

(Не слышал об этом раньше, потом ты мне сообщил)
c) Lucy didn't come to the party because she was ill in bed.
(Одновременные действия)
d) If I had known the news, I'd have called you.
(Условное 3го типа)
e) My cousin phoned when I got home at midnight.
(Последовательность действий)
f) Laura told me that she had divorced her husband.
(Сначала развелась, потом сказала)
g) By that time, everybody had been drunk.  
(К определенному моменту)
Объяснение:
Past Simple: простое прошедшее время
Употребление времени Past Simple:
• Если важно подчеркнуть последовательность действий
• Действия происходили в определенный момент в прошлом

Past Perfect: прошедшее совершенное время
Употребление времени Past Perfect
Первое замечание: Past Perfect практически никогда не используется без второго сказуемого в прошедшем времени. То есть, если необходимо подчеркнуть, что действие произошло перед другим действием в прошлом, то используем Past Perfect. 
Слова-маркеры Past Perfect
У Past Perfect есть слова-маркеры, видя которые, смело употребляйте это время:
• already
• yet
• just
• ever
• never
• by и тд
