#7 is not jelly. It's jam on both sides of the Pond. Jelly is clear.

There are clearly little seeds there, making it jam (pieces of fruit). If it were jelly, it would have no fruit pieces in it.

Jam and jelly have the same definitions on either side of the Pond. If it's made from whole fruit it's 'jam', if it's made from strained fruit or juice, it's jelly. - - - In the UK 'couch' and 'sofa' are both used. 'Couch' has been used in English since the mid 1500s. - - - 'Trainers/sneakers' - 'trainers' is the more common term in the UK, but the items shown were not trainers. They are more likely to be called 'converse' than 'trainers'. - - - 'Sweater' and 'jumper' are both used in English. 'Sweater' entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 1882.
