Explanation
A combination means two or more things joined together to create something new. For example, mixing sugar and water is a combination, or wearing red shoes with a black dress is a colour combination. In locks, a combination is a special set of numbers used to open it. A combination can be about food (like rice and curry), clothing, ideas, or actions. The important part is that a combination is made when separate things are put together, often creating a stronger or more interesting result.
