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>

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.
valkas [14]
Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!
