Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

Ways and means

Options:

Almost, to be nearly

Excessively

Means, resources

Correct Answer:

Means, resources

Explanation:

The other options are incorrect. "Almost, to be nearly" is the meaning of the idiom "almost there." "Excessively" is the meaning of the idiom "to go to great lengths." "Concerning" is the meaning of the idiom "as to."
