1. How much or how many fruit does your father produce? –I would use ‘How much’ (meaning total mass of fruit), but ‘how many’ if you think of diversity: apple treas, cherry trees,..

2. What would you like to do at the weekend ? –Not sure I caught the idea. C) seems to be the expected answer provided it ends with ‘…’ You might say, ‘I’d like to do (some cleaning/painting/ironing/… in my house. In my view, D) could also be an answer if you expect something bad happening at/on the coming weekend and would rather go to bed and wake up say, next month.

3. . Do you like pop music ? –B.

4. 17. What time ___A._____ on television?

5. 29. ___D._____long or short?

Thank you James, for the new piece of information/piece of news you shared with us.
Thanks also for 'overlooking' my 'at/on the coming weekend' which should be 'over the coming weekend'.

Hello, Eugene:

Do I have to use "over"?

Would "What are you planning to do on the coming weekend?" be OK?

Well, If you expect smth bad happening the coming weekend/next month/next week... Now I feel it's really Friday afternoon, as your sentence sounds OK and mine doesn't take the 'on'. Should fetch a five-year-old James...

Having had a conference with the five-year-old, I’m back now to resume where we left off: “This weekend can be interpreted to mean either the nearest weekend in the future or the nearest weekend in the past. The context usually clarifies the meaning, but coming or past can be added to help: The meeting was this weekend. The meeting was this coming weekend. The meeting was this past weekend.
In the first case, I'd think that means that the meeting happened over the weekend that just passed, but it might instead mean that the meeting was scheduled to happen a few days in the future, but was cancelled or moved. In the second and third cases, there's no room for misunderstanding; in the second case the meeting must have been moved, and in the third case the meeting has already happened.” http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/41531/difference-between-coming-weekend-and-this-weekend
So my assumption is that you could say “…if you expect something bad happening the/this coming weekend’ meaning weekend as a whole (‘Friday evening until Sunday night’) according to: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/weekend [“This/Next weekend we're going to see some friends”]
Same can be applied to ‘over the/this coming weekend’ (=during this time).
Saying “What are you planning to do on the coming weekend?”, your sentence could be read as ‘on your day/s off’ stressing the idea ‘day off’ not simply referring to a certain period of time. “We go out once in a while after work and on the weekend.”

If you ask for more, I’m afraid this is all I can come up with at the moment.
