Step-by-step explanation:

"Augustine observed that evil always injures, and such injury is a deprivation of good. If there were no deprivation, there would be no injury. Since all things were made with goodness, evil must be the privation of goodness: “All which is corrupted is deprived of good.” 3 The diminution of the property of goodness is what’s called evil."

Hope This Helps!!!
