A triangle with a circular base
A parallelogram, but only if you are counting in base 9.
A cone would fit the given description
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
It depends on the base. If the base is an n-sided regular polygon, the pyramid will have n/2 pairs of parallel sides. The number of parallel sides when the base is irregular will depend on the exact details of the base.

No, it is not. For a cone, think of a standard ice-cream cone shape (or a witches hat) - a circular top OR base (but not both), which has sides coming off that taper into a point. Whereas a cylinder has a circular top AND base, (like the shape of baked bean cans), with sides joining both top and base.

There are infinitely many possible answers. One of these is a icosahedron.
It depends on the base. If the base is an n-sided regular polygon, the pyramid will have n/2 pairs of parallel sides. The number of parallel sides when the base is irregular will depend on the exact details of the base.
Cone
This is an impossible shape. The only 3-d shape with 4 plane faces is a tetrahedron (triangular pyramid). While its base is a triangle, all of its other faces are also triangles and so cannot have parallel sides.
a pyramid with the top cut off _____ / \ / \ / \ _________ where top and base are parallel, and sides slope in opposite directions something like that, badly drawn above, for example.
The base of a trapezium is one of the parallel sides. Conventionally it is the longer of the two parallel sides but that need not be the case.
