The difference between clothes and clothing is outlined here: clothes and clothing
As for the rest of the test, what do YOU think the right answers are? =)
By the way, something's off about sentence #2 - I think it should read "The man ___________ ON the plane talked all the time"

You are incorrect, you are no longer on the plane so present tense would be wrong. C is correct. As Tort pointed out, the preposition 'on' is missing from the sentence.
3) 1. Everyone was talking but stopped_______ Mr Smith entered the room
A. at the time
B. the moment
C. the time
D. by the time
You are correct.
4) You mustn't forget _______ tomorrow morning
A. turning in your assignment
B. to turn over your assignment
C. to turn back your assigment
D. to turn in your assigment
I already understand why!
I'm afraid you don't understand why, as your choice is incorrect. "To turn in" means 'to hand in', so D is correct.
5) You have no idea.......then.
A. what a hard time we had B. we had what a hard time
C. that we had hard time D. what hard time we had
You are incorrect as an article is needed. A is correct.
6) Only a .............of students attend those classes.
A. little B. group C. band D.handful
You are correct.
7) Find the mistake in the sentence
I've talked to the writer, the works of whom are popular with the youth.
-> the work of whom
Typically of these old tests, that sentence sounds so stilted. I suppose the correct answer would be
I've talked to the writer, the works of whom are popular with the youths.
but native English speakers/writers would probably use:
I've talked to the writer whose works are popular with the youths.
