I finally lowered my anki deck to zero!!! After months of overdue cards, what a relief. I can finally start on a normal
rhythm again.

Marysiu, czy ty zawsze, kiedy jedziesz na uniwersytet, ………… ze sobą książki?
Well, given the association described above, I thought it would be wieziesz, but it's wozisz. |

Wow, those examples are very confusing... I got entangled in trying to figure out different variants of such sentences. I admire you for working with this book. I understand it that way:
"Zawsze" implies repetition and makes "jedziesz" which is unfinished/continuum (I forgot proper terms) repetitive, so the second part of the sentence must be repetitive as well, hence "wozisz".
Marysiu, kiedy jeździsz na uniwersytet, wozisz ze sobą książki?
"Jeździsz" alone implies that the action is repetitive. "Zawsze" is kind of redundant but in my opinion you could add it to the sentence.

Another example :
Marku, …………… nam czeskiego piwa, jak pojedziesz do Pragi!
The answer is przywieź. Although the book, up to this point, gives no explanation regarding the verb pojechać, I
assumed it was either powieźć or wieźć. Why przywieźć? |

This is important.
przywieź (nam) - bring it to (us), przywieź piwo - bring beer; powieź piwo - drive with this beer somewhere (unfinished, location unspecified); wieź piwo - an order to take beer for a ride (unfinished)
"przywieź" is the only one that implies a kind of destination.
Marku, przywieź czeskiego piwa (without nam) would also be a correct sentence cause one knows that this activity will terminate and only this makes sense in this context. The time is given - "jak pojedziesz do Pragi".
I hope this helps you a bit.

Jest bardzo dużo słownictw w tym zeszycie, szczególnie w jego
pierwszym rozdziału. A kilka słów jest bardzo... precyzyjny! |

My minor corrections:
dużo słownictwa - vocabulary functions here in singular
jest bardzo prezycyjnych - (jakich?) plural plus declension
bałóg (a kind of a nest) - I think you meant "barłóg", oldish word, nowadays it is used as a derogative term meaning a room that looks like a pigsty (mahyem all over the place)
bróg (a rick or stack) - I do not know this one... I googled it and it turned out that it is a wooden construction with a roof made of hay that was used as a storage hut for grain.
dąb (an oak tree)
gwóźdź (a nail)
głóg (hawthorn)
szlachcic (gentlemen) - nobleman, member of gentry; gentleman (very polite man) - dżentelmen ;)
Good luck with your studies!
