Answer:

1. Dominant - This refers to something or someone that is controlling or which is capable of influencing the situation in their favour.

E.g.

  • The colour of eyes is determined by the dominant gene.

(Here, the sentence means that the colour of a person's eyes is influenced the 'stronger' gene.)

  • Males are generally considered to be the dominant sex.

(Here, the sentence means that the general idea among people is that men are stronger and more likely to be controlling than women.)

2. Gambled - To gamble is to take chances on something. Or, it can also refer to the gambling, which is to play games by betting money.

E.g.

  • Selling her house was a gamble, but it was her last resort.

(Here, it means that the lady has no other choice but to sell her house, even if she's taking a risk by doing so.)

  • He gambled away all his money.

(Here, the sentence means that he lost all his money by betting them on games.)

3. Penniless - To be penniless is to have almost no money left with you; or to be very poor.

E.g.

  • Paying for all the hospital bills ultimately left him penniless.

(Here, the sentence means that the man had no more money left by the time he finished paying all the hospital bills.)

  • It was snowing, but the penniless beggars still slept on the streets.

(Here, the sentence means that despite the snowfall, the beggars were still sleeping on the streets, since they were too poor to afford any shelter.)

4. Accomplished - This means to achieve something. It also means having a lot of skills in a particular field or activity.

E.g.

  • It took a long time, but I finally accomplished my dreams.

(Here, it means that even though it took a long time, I was finally able to realise my dreams and ambitions.)

  • Rembrandt was an accomplished painter.

(Here, we mean to say that Rembrandt was a great artist who was highly skilled in painting.)

5. Legendary - This refers to someone/someone who was very well-known for something. It also refers to a person/thing which was immortalised in fables or stories.

E.g.

  • The Taj Mahal is a legendary monument.

(Here, we mean to say that the Taj Mahal is a world-renowned monument for being one of a kind.)

  • It is said that the legendary king Mahabali visits the homes of his subjects on Onam every year.

(Here, the sentence means that king Mahabali is believed to visit every year, even though we have only heard this in stories and cannot verify if it is actually true.)

6. Legends - Legends are stories which are widely popular, but may not be true. It can also refer to an extremely famous person or thing. In cartography (map-marking), legend is a table of all the symbols used in the map.

E.g.

  • The El Dorado is a place of legend.

(Here, the sentence means that the El Dorado is a place famed all over the world for its stories, but no one knows if it ever really existed.)

  • Michael Jackson was a legend.

(Here, we refer to Michael Jackson as a legend because he was arguably one of the greatest performers of all time, and there may never be another person to match him.)

  • The map legend is an indispensable part of any map.

(Here, the sentence means that the map legend is very important, since it gives us the information as to which symbol is used to represent while marking the map.)
