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 yikes, you also need to separate it from the rest of the sentence using a dash.

A. I'd love to stay and talk, but—yikes! I'm really late now.
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.

B. Today we studied a poem, did an experiment, and multiplied fractions. (The sentence doesn't need the dash.)
C. The coat—one of the most colorful that I've seen--seemed to be made of string. (It needs another dash after seen.)
D. There on the stage was my sister! (Does not need the dash.)

Read the passage from chapter 17 of the prince. Nevertheless

Marysya12 [62]

The impact that the words feared and hatred in the chapter 17 of The Prince have on the meaning of the passage is that they suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

In this chapter, Machiavelli establishes an important distinction between 'feared' and 'hatred'. The author argues that a prince should make himself feared by the masses but not hated. Moreover, he states that one way of avoid being hatred is leaving his citizens' property intact. According to Machiavelli, it is important to avoid being hatred because, unlike being feared, a hated prince is more likely to lose his power due to the angry masses.
