<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. </span></span></span><span><span><span> </span></span></span>
I'm assuming that the answer is blanket because fog is often said to "cover the land like a blanket". May I ask what poem you are referring to? This would aid in answering the question. <span />
This question depends on your religion .................... so you would have to answer it your self because I don't want to affend you with my opinion
