This might be a double definition.

'withdraw a book' is the first definition.
'extract' can be an answer for 'withdraw' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'a book' bit.

'passage' is the second definition.
(I know that extract is a type of passage)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extract that I've seen before include "Withdraw - quotation" , "(Piece) remove(d)" , "Short excerpt" , "Take or pull out - say a tooth" , "Pull or take out - maybe a tooth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
