What does the phrase 'Under the Sun' mean?

Under literal sun Without God During daytime In the temple

Correct Answer:

Without God

Explanation:

The phrase points to life on earth as experienced from a human, earthly perspective, often without taking God's point of view into account. It signals evaluating things under the sun—things visible, immediate, and limited to this world. That framing is why the option about life “Without God” fits best: it captures the sense of viewing life from a human-centered, earthly frame of reference rather than from a divine vantage. It isn’t about the literal sun, daytime, or being inside a temple—those notions don’t capture the idea of perspective and scope that “under the sun” conveys.
