The table in the most sacred part of a church is called?
In Protestant and evangelical churches it is usually called the 'communion table'; in Roman Catholic churches, the 'altar'.
This difference is because Catholic teaching views the bread and wine as a re-presentation of the same sacrifice of Christ at Calvary, with the elements changing substance to the real body and blood of Christ in every respect except appearance; hence the table is an 'altar' of sacrifice.
In Protestant traditions since the Reformation the elements of bread and wine are viewed in a variety of other ways, including those which emphasise their symbolic and memorial nature, or to be the occasion of a real but spiritual presence of Christ; hence 'communion table' rather than 'altar'.
'Higher' forms of Protestant churches, including those in the 'Anglo-Catholic' tradition, place a premium on Catholic continuity, and are closer in practice, doctrine and terminology to the Roman Catholic position.
Without taking note of the distinctions above 'altar' has become part of popular usage, especially in terms like 'altar call'.
Where is the oldest cathedral in England?
Since you asked, specifically, for cathedral, and not simply church, the building must house an active seat of authority for the Church. This means that the answer you seek would be the Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham more commonly known as Durham Cathedral. It is the oldest, not just in England, but of all Britain, as well. Located, of course, in Durham, England, it is known to have been founded in 1083. It is a marvel of Norman architecture (Romanesque), and is one of the most active tourist sites in Europe.
The oldest active church in England is thought to be St. Peter's-On-the-Wall, located in Bradwell-On-The-Sea, Essex.

What is the four largest lakes in the state?
By surface area: Truman, Lake of the Ozarks, Wappapello and Bull Shoals from largest to smallest (the two larger lakes are pretty close to the same size, as are the two smaller ones). Strike Bull Shoals and add Table Rock to the end of the list if you're only counting that portion of the lake which lies within the state, as the majority of Bull Shoals is actually in a neighboring state. Table Rock, which is only a little smaller than Bull Shoals, also crosses the state boundary but only a small part of it is outside the state; if you only want to count lakes that are entirelywithin the state, replace Bull Shoals with Stockton instead.
I can't readily find any figures for volume, but I suspect it would be roughly the same, since they're all the same type of lake: reservoirs formed by dams.
If those names don't sound right to you, perhaps you should specify which state.
