Answer:

The nature of God

Explanation:

In these lines, St. Augustine criticizes a view that was common during his time. This is the view that argues that curiosity is a sin, and that God should not be questioned or understood. In these lines, he asks what God was doing before Creation. However, he argues that those who condemn the question (by implying that those who pry into this mystery go to Hell) is expressing a view he disagrees with. Moreover, this implies that St. Augustine does not believe God would view this question as a sin either. Therefore, he does not think this attitude reflects the nature of God.

I would say the nature of god. We already know that time isn't a real answer since it is but a detail of what the author's message is. It attacks the concept of what God first decided to do, before the supposed creation of all we have known.

Which line is an example of a subjective opinion? It seems that Kahlo’s parents did not care about their daughter. Frida Kahlo’s
Volgvan
<span>The answer to the question is, "It seems that Kahlo's parents did not care about their daughter." This statement is asserting a subjective opinion that is open to interpretation depending on the overall emotion of the reader and author. The other statements, "Frida Kahlo's parents did not visit her in the hospital. The Kahlo family struggled with poverty and other issues. Matita, Frida's sister, came frequently to help at the hospital," are just asserting facts, not opinions.</span>
