What is the title of Milton's epic poem about the fall of man?

Lycidas
Samson Agonistes
Paradise Lost
Comus

The correct answer is: Paradise Lost

Milton's epic poem about the fall of man is titled "Paradise Lost". The title refers to the biblical story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden after eating the forbidden fruit. Option A, "Lycidas", is a pastoral elegy written by Milton in honor of a fellow poet. Option B, "Samson Agonistes", is a tragedy based on the biblical character Samson. Option D, "Comus", is a masque that combines elements of drama and spectacle. However, these three options do not pertain to the fall of man and are therefore incorrect.
