<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.

Select the correct answer. What is a central idea in the passage?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

A. The theremin is becoming a newly popular Instrument to play.

Explanation:

The above statement which is on the growing popularity of the instrument is the central idea in the passage. This is because, when the instrument was formed by the Russian physicist, its popularity grew small in the 1920's before it fades away. <em>Later in the 1990's, it was revived with so many composers creating good musics and symphonies using the instrument.</em>

What is the impact of the tinkle of the raindrops on the poet’s heart?
stepladder [879]

Answer: The tinkle of the raindrops echo in the heart of the poet as if his heartbeat responds to every sound of the rain by its rhythm. Moreover, the rain kindles many memories in the poet's mind and he gets lost in dreamy imagination.

Hopefully this helps.
