To determine whether "se" or "nos" in each sentence means "each other" or not, we need to analyze the context and the reflexive verbs used in each sentence.
1. "Los boxeadores se golpearon." (The boxers hit each other.)
In this sentence, the reflexive verb "golpearon" indicates that the subject (the boxers) performed the action (hitting) on themselves (each other). Therefore, in this case, "se" means "each other." Your answer is correct.
2. "Los dos políticos se gritaron." (The two politicians yelled at each other.)
Here, the reflexive verb "gritaron" suggests that the subject (the politicians) engaged in the action (yelling) with themselves (each other). Hence, "se" means "each other." Your answer is correct.
3. "Llega un día en que los niños se bañan sin la ayuda de sus padres." (There comes a day when children bathe without their parents' help.)
In this sentence, the reflexive verb "bañan" implies that the children perform the action (bathing) on themselves. Though the use of "se" can also indicate a general reflexive action, in this context, it refers to the children bathing themselves (each other). Therefore, "se" means "each other." Your answer is correct.
4. "Las personas que sufren de depresión muchas veces no se estiman." (People suffering from depression often don't value themselves.)
In this sentence, the reflexive verb "estiman" suggests that the subject (people suffering from depression) performs the action (valuing) on themselves. However, in this context, it does not imply "each other." Instead, it means that individuals with depression often do not value themselves. Thus, in this case, "se" does not mean "each other." Your answer is correct.
Therefore, your answers for all the sentences are correct.
