A boservação de Renato Baroli está correta:
The thieves robbed the bank (They stole money from the bank).
Na questão 4) They stole ten million dollars from that bank last week. (robbed - stole)
(Eles roubaram dez milhões de dólares daquele banco na semana passada.) A frase está se refendo especificamente ao roubo de dez milhões de dólares e não sobre o assalto ao banco, por isso o uso de stole e não robbed.

Muito obrigado pela participação e até o próximo.
