<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.

How can you tell if something is a passion for you?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

I would say either the first or last option! I'll explain-

Explanation:

The first option states that you spend over 12 hours per week on it. Spending a lot of time on something can be a good thing! You may really enjoy doing whatever it is you are doing, so you send more time on it.

The last option states that you feel more energized when you are finished, meaning that you could also like doing what you are doing then. It might make you happy. Or more energized!
