Correct Answer:

To like someone a lot

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "have a soft spot for someone" is to like someone a lot.

This idiom is used to describe someone who has a strong liking or affection for another person. It is often used to describe a feeling that is based on personal connection or familiarity.

For example, you might say "I have a soft spot for my little brother. He's always been there for me." This means that you have a strong liking or affection for your little brother.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom.

  • To argue something with no effect: This idiom is more accurately described as "to beat a dead horse."
  • To show the true nature of someone: This idiom is more accurately described as "to reveal someone's true colors."
  • To resolve a problem successfully: This idiom is more accurately described as "to find a solution to a problem."
