<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.

Why does waverly call chess a game of secrets in which one must show and never tell? Why does she love secrets?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: Because chess is a game where you need a real poker face. You have to keep your emotions bottled up inside instead of showing them. Because then your opponent will know that you have a great move in mind or something along those lines. She loves these secrets because she wants to be unlike her mother who is always voicing her opinion. She wants to have her secrets to herself and she can through chess.

Hope this helped!
