I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">cane</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(sugar cane is a kind of cane)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">beet?</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(sugar beet is a kind of beet)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sugar that I've seen before include "White or brown sweetener" , "Common sweetener" , "Cane or beet product" , "Plantation product" , "Sucrose" .)
