I have several BNF defined as follow:
1. <S> -> 0<S> | 1 | 0
2. <S> -> 1<S> | 1 | 0
3. <S> -> 0<S> | 1<S> | 1 | 0
4. <S> -> <S>0 | 1 | 0
5. <S> -> <S>1 | 0
This is the solution from my friend, however, I doubt the correctness of some of them
1. { 0^n: n >= 1 } V { 0^n1: n >= 0 } -> This is fine.
2. { 1^n0^k: n > 0, k = 0, 1 } -> I don't quite get this one, is the same with grammar 1?
3. { 0 } V { 1^n0^k: n > 0 and k = 0, 1 } -> I think this one is incorrect.
4. { 0^n: n > 0 } V { 10^n: n >= 0 } -> I think this is also incorrect
5. { 01^n: n >= 0 } -> This is fine.
Could anyone help me explain this?
Thanks,

Questions $1$,$2$ and $4$ are very similar. If you get one of them you should get all of them. Question $5$ is even simpler.
For question $3$, it is easy to see that every non-empty string is generated by the BNF. For example, to generate 0110, use $$S \rightarrow 0S \rightarrow 01S \rightarrow 011S \rightarrow 0110.$$
As to your question on "how to write all non-empty strings in $\{\}$ notation", this depends on the conventions used in your course. The corresponding regular expression is $(0+1)^+$, but I guess you haven't learned these just yet.
