<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">tendency</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that leaning is a type of tendency)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">inclination</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(incline can mean to lean)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
