NECTAR (#3), ESTONIA (#6), PARTY (#4) are correct.
BLOCK for #7 is incorrect.

Hint: All these are straight and easy (DDs, Anagrams, A+Bs) except #8 which is a homophone (even that is not that difficult, the answer is almost staring at you, albeit a little astigmatically). No deletions, lits, indicator letters, w-in-w's, and other cute stuff.

1. Intend to be ill-intentioned. (4)
2. Bugs in religious groups. (7)
5. Feathers or fruit over time. (7)
7. Exclude fresh bread. (5)
8. Where penguins live and noisily group into opposing factions. ( 8 )
