Definition Of Words

In English class, we were reading a book called 'Three Cup of Tea'.  Our teacher told us to find five words that I don't understand, here are the five words:

• Slabs - it means a very flat thick piece of stone.  Slabs is describing the stone.
• Burgundy - it is actually a place in France.  Does not really have a meaning because it is a place. 
• Tarnished - it means something that is silver and it comes from a very old place.
• Smoldering - it means that you are smoking but burning slowly with it but using no flame.
• Gasoline - It does not have a meaning but it a type of fuel that maybe you will use for cars.
