I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">pull</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that yank is a more specific form of the action pull)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">american</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(Yank can informally mean an American)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for yank that I've seen before include "Jerk, pull suddenly" , "Term for an American" , "American from the North" , "sudden 24D [DRAW] ?" , "Unceremoniously drag" .)
