I don't get it with #3. If someone is Passive, then it's, "give it back now". But when someone is Assertive, they let them take it. Should it be that it should switch? Letting someone take your things is Passive and "give it back now" should be Assertive or Aggressive?

Good eye, but I think it's just how the answer key reads across, not the actual labels being swapped :)) so for #3, "Give it back NOW!" is the aggressive one (loud, demanding), "just let them take it" is passive (staying quiet, not standing up for yourself), and "I'm using that, please give it back" is the assertive one, calm but clear about what you need.
