Permutation
Noun
“Every once in a while, though, somebody comes up with a new permutation and I am once again reminded that I am an immigrant with a foreign name” (Funny in Farsi, 66)
Definition: The act of changing the order of elements arranged in a particular order.
Page: 66
Context clues: I used my prior knowledge and then rereading the word in the sentence to realize that permutation is when something tends to change.
Original sentence: I will be cheering on my teammates and telling them what position to be in then I realize a new permutation and I am reminded that I am no longer a soccer player anymore because I am physically unable to play.
