a category or kind
2.
a manner of doing something
3.
a printed variety
4.
an individual piece of metal type
Correct Answer: an individual piece of metal type
In printing terminology, a "sort" is a single piece of metal type. The context of setting type by hand makes this the only fitting meaning; the general senses of category or manner do not apply here.
