The correct answer is A) An epic begins in medias res. Its important to remember that the term medias res means that a story, in this case <em>In Paradise Lost</em>, begins in the middle of a plot. Because John Milton does not tell the story of how Satan and the other angels fell from heaven but picks up after, this is an example of epic form.
