Again, delete everything in parentheses.

I don't understand #5.

#6 is grammatically correct, but the content isn't -- present continuous is for indicating present actions; future continuous is for future actions.

#8 is not a complete sentence.

#10 http://www.answers.com/topic/tuxedo
(yes)

#11-12 -- either will do, depending on the shirt. The term "long-sleeved shirt" usually refers to a shirt with a collar, while any T-shirts do not have collars.

#13 -- the 2nd one is better.
