Answer:
The second sentence uses the definition of the word.
Explanation :
In the second sentence the subject takes a medication that makes him/her "soporific", meaning it promprs him/her to sleep. Hence, the person has to avoid driving since it can be dangerous.

The above quote can be used as the statement about which Woolf makes her point in "A Room of One’s Own." This is because Woolf's main argument is that women are placed unequally in relation to men because society so desires and not because women have no capacity. To exemplify this, she shows that it would be impossible for a woman in Shakespeare's day to have implored plays of literary works like him, because society would ignore her. To make the example even more palatable, she shows that if Shakespeare had a brother as or more talented than he, she would never be considered an important writer, but would be ignored, discouraged and even silenced.
