The sentence that uses dashes correctly is A) I'd love to stay and talk, but - yikes! I'm really late now.
Since you introduced an exclamation <em>yikes, </em>you also need to separate it from the rest of the sentence using a dash.

A. <span><span>I'd love to stay and talk, but—yikes! I'm really late now.
</span>This is the correct answer. The dash here is used properly because it shows the break in thought, and it changes the tone of the speaker. That is one use of dashes.
<span>
B. </span></span><span>Today we studied a poem, did an experiment, and multiplied fractions. (The sentence doesn't need the dash.)
C. </span><span>The coat—one of the most colorful that I've seen--seemed to be made of string. (It needs another dash after seen.)
</span>D. <span>There on the stage was my sister! (Does not need the dash.)</span><span>

</span>

Which of the following is a theme in “The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket”?
Olenka [21]

A. People don’t always appreciate what they have until it’s gone.


The short story, “The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket,” by Yasunari Kawabata is about a moment in time when a boy gives a girl bell cricket that he assumes is a grasshopper.  During the exchange from the boy’s hand to the girl’s hand, the boy’s name is projected onto the girl by the boy’s lantern because his name was on it, and the girl’s name was projected onto the boy because her name was on her lantern.  It seems that the boy gives away the bug because he thought it was a grasshopper and not a bell cricket, which is a quite rare bug.  Additionally, neither the girl nor boy appreciates the chance instant when their names are projected on the other.  As such, there is a theme that people don’t appreciate what they have until it is gone, mainly because they do not recognize what it is they actually have or what is actually happening at that instant.
