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.
The 'underground railroad' was known as such due to the slaves using it to escape and the people helping them to escape using secret codes that were commonly associated with railroads.
(Ex: 'station masters' = people who would hide slaves)
