PANTS for # 8 (GRASPS - R = GASPS = PANTS = TROUSERS)
and 
SLEW (dd) for # 2 are both correct.

Update with hints.


6.   Poles pay out for a flower. (7)
hint1: W-in-W (look at it more as a word "out of" a word)
hint2: Poles are earth's poles.

9.   Island calls hole. (6) 
hint1: Think small island.
hint2: The hole too is a small one, like the one you find on a sewing needle.
hint3: homophone
