This might be a double definition.

'pulls out' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pages' is the second definition.
(leaves can mean the pages of a book)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leaves that I've seen before include "Departs with tree growths" , "Departs or bequeaths" , "exits" , "spinach for example" , "Disappears" .)
