Question: 1 / 400

What form does John Milton write in?

Verse

John Milton was a 17th century English poet, who is most well-known for his epic poem, "Paradise Lost". He wrote exclusively in verse, making option A the correct answer. Poetry (option B) is a broad term that can include various forms of writing, such as verse, but not all poetry is necessarily in verse. Prose (option C) refers to written or spoken language in its ordinary form, and does not specifically refer to a literary form like verse. Novels (option D) are also works of prose, and were not a popular form of literature during Milton's time. Therefore, verse is the specific form that John Milton is known for writing in.
