Covered ones are porches. It they don't have covers, they are decks.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages:
Soda
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup:
Pancake
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself:

18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff?
Yard sale. Preferably said with a very strong accent.

Supper. Dinner is what you eat on weekends at about 2 or 3. Or what you have on Thanksgiving.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
