Answer:
Dmitri had tumbled backward into a giant potted plant. I sighed and shook my head. There wasn't enough money in the world to make babysitting the Karamazov ninjas worthwhile.
Explanation:
The story is told in the first person. The main character is recounting her/his experience of babysitting for two boys. The best answer choice is "Dmitri had tumbled backward into a giant potted plant. I sighed and shook my head. There wasn't enough money in the world to make babysitting the Karamazov ninjas worthwhile." This paragraph is told in the first person point of view and is consistent with the rest of the passage.

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.
