A:
In terms of the job title they are probably the same.
Ask for job descriptions for both to see if there are any differences.

a general office clerk is the person who do meaningless tasks like photocopying, mailings, running errands, answering phones and filing. The administrative assistant do all those things plus a whole lot more. They type out letters and use the Microsoft applications while the general office clerk isn't allow to use the computer.
