Must've passed because there wasn't a response to the "how'd it go" questions lol. Looks like the key to success is by going through it at least 3 times

L3 switches can route both L2 frames and L3 packets so the provided answer is incorrect.

Agreed, however be careful with your adjectives. One doesn't route layer two frames - one switches them.

"They move frames between endpoints limited to IP addresses" is strange wording and makes me think it is wrong. Endpoints are not limited to IP addresses, they have MAC addresses as well. And like a router, Layer 3 switches do not only use IP address. They inspect the destination MAC address to determine if it is on the same or a different subnet, if different subnet they strip frame and re-encapsulate etc., if same subnet they forward to destination endpoint. Based on MAC address. And actually if you just focus on the word "frames" and take it very literally, that is the Layer 2 PDU so IP addresses aren't involved.
