In the first one, I think the only real difference between us is that you analyzed {b, d, g} in Sumerian as being voiceless whereas I didn't, right? I think that was pretty much just my mistake. I got confused because Zólyomi refers to {b, d, g} as being "voiced graphonemes in Sumerian" within the exercise itself, and he also says within the chapter that the voiceless stops became voiced in most environments around 2000 BCE.
In the third one, my answers are the same as in the answer key as far as I can tell (or did I remember wrong?), and I'll admit I didn't check yours too carefully, but I don't think your answers are actually incompatible with mine. Perhaps Zólyomi deliberately picked prefixes and stems where low (or non-high) vowels go with other low vowels and high vowels go with high vowels; I don't know, but that was apparently the answer he was looking for.
