<span><span><span>Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. (from Eccl. 10:1 King James Version)
Based on the context in the source, what is the most likely meaning of the phrase "fly in the ointment" in general use?
fly
B) a minor flaw that ruins a person or object is the answer I would choose. The idea is that the fly which is in the ointment or perhaps in a soup, in itself is not a big problem but is serious enough to contaminate the ointment or say the soup or put people off by just the thought of it even though it is removed.

I believe the correct answer is: the claim of a human tyrant
of enduring glory is transient.
The theme of "Ozymandias", a poem written by Percy

is transient. This theme may be even broader, meaning that everything humans accomplish
is transient such as Ozymandias’ glory in this poem.
