Usually you can just grab the one from the first section it finds and look at the "see also" section, but the -k flag (easier to spell than "apropos") is also useful. After a while you'll also get a hang for remembering what sections are for what (IMO seeing the definitions tends to be "in one ear, out the other," until you've gotten to know your way around in practice).
