    Use a dictionary to find the meaning of some of these words: palace, popular, invention, cuisine, significantly, promenade

    Palace
    A palace is a grand residence, especially a royal residence, or the home of a head of state or some other high-ranking dignitary, such as a bishop or archbishop.[1]
    The word is derived from the Latin name Palātium, for Palatine Hill in Rome which housed the Imperial residences.[1] In many parts of Europe, the term is also applied to ambitious private mansions of the aristocracy. Many historic palaces are now put to other uses such as parliaments, museums, hotels, or office buildings. The word is also sometimes used to describe a lavishly ornate building used for public entertainment or exhibitions.[1]

    Popular
    Popular/Popularity or social status is the quality of being well liked, admired or well known to a particular group.

    Invention
    An invention that achieves a completely unique function or result may be a radical breakthrough.

    Cuisine
    A cuisine is a style of cooking characterised by distinctive ingredients, techniques and dishes, and usually associated with a specific culture or geographic region. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. Religious food laws, such as Hindu, Islamic and Jewish dietary laws, can also exercise a strong influence on cuisine. Regional food preparation traditions, customs and ingredients often combine to create dishes unique to a particular region.

    Significantly
    Great or important way as to be worthy of attention.

    Promenade
    An esplanade or promenade is a long, open, level area, usually next to a river or large body of water, where people may walk.
    Also known as esplanades are often on sea fronts, and allow walking whatever the state of the tide, without having to walk on the beach. Esplanades became popular in Victorian times when it was fashionable to visit seaside resorts.
