you should pay a visit to great - aunt gertrude, the solomon of our family.
options:

• a person who is very kind
• a person who gives good advice
• a person who is generous

Explanation:

The source states Solomon is extremely wise. An allusion to Solomon in "the Solomon of our family" implies Great - Aunt Gertrude has Solomon's wisdom - related trait. Wisdom is associated with giving good advice, not just kindness or generosity. So the allusion means a person who gives good advice.

a person who gives good advice
