Here are the explanation on those correction:

1. What were you done at 7 o’clock last night?  X
   Correction: What were you doing at 7 o’clock last night?.
   Explanation: "at 7 o’clock last night" is the key phrase here. Last night is the key phrase for past simple tense, but at 7 o'clock make it more specific and it has to go in past continuous tense.
   Reference: Chapter 4 Past Continuous Tense
2. A lot of wild animals were slaughtered by hunters ever year.  X
   Correction: A lot of wild animals are slaughtered by hunters ever year.
   Explanation:  In this question, every year is the key phrase of the action that happens regularly but in every year. So it has to be in present simple tense.
   Reference: Chapter 1 Present Simple Tense
3. The girls were playing tennis when it has begun to rain.  X
   Correction: The girls were playing tennis when it begun to rain.. 
   Explanation: In this question, there are 2 events involved. The first action was happening and the the second one interrupted. The girls were playing tennis and then the it rained. This has to be in not other structure but past continue tense.
   Reference: Chapter 4 Past Continuous Tense
4. Next year you had to be more economical than this year. X
   Correction: Next year you (will) have to be more economical than this year.
   Explanation:  Next year plays as the key phrase in this question and it tells us that this is in the future. The structure that fit this scenario is either present simple tense or future simple tense. In this context, Present Simple can also be applied as it must be happening in the future. As well as Future Simple Tense, it also can go with this sentence too.
   Reference: Chapter 1 Present Simple Tense | Chapter 7 Future Simple Tense
5. At five tomorrow she will sing at the Crown hotel. X
   Correction: At five tomorrow she will be singing at the Crown hotel.
   Explanation: At five tomorrow is now the key phrase here, and it tells us that a girl is is going to be singing at the very specific time, that is at five o'clock tomorrow. This has something to do with nothing but Future Continuous Tense. This scenario is similar to question #1 specific time, but in the future.
   Reference: Chapter 7 Future Continuous Tense
