Question:

Referring to the passage given above, the word "sort" (in "one metal sort at a time") is used to mean:

1.
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.
