Есть ошибки?

Ошибок в этих вариантах нет. Оба предложения в каждой паре грамматически возможны, потому что глаголы promise и give могут иметь два дополнения: кому и что.

You promised me these books long ago.

• These books were promised to me by you long ago. — верно.
• I was promised these books by you long ago. — тоже верно и звучит естественнее.

Bessie's father gave her a complete set of Walter Scott's works.

• A complete set of Walter Scott's works was given to her by Bessie's father. — верно.
• She was given a complete set of Walter Scott's works by Bessie's father. — тоже верно и звучит естественнее.

В английском языке чаще выбирают вариант, где человек становится подлежащим: I was promised..., She was given.... Но оба типа пассивного залога правильные.
