A.The fall of the Son
B.The fall of the Rebel Angels
C.The fall of God
D.The death of Michael
Correct Answer:
B. The fall of the Rebel Angels

Explanation

The fall of the Rebel Angels is the major event that Adam is told of in Book Six of “Paradise Lost”. This answer is correct because the epic poem by John Milton narrates the story of the Fall of Man and the rebel angels, with Book Six specifically detailing the war in Heaven and the expulsion of the rebel angels. To remember this, recall that the QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com often uses the mnemonic “6RA” – Six, Rebels, Angels – to associate with the sixth book of Paradise Lost, making it easier to recall the correct answer. Other options are incorrect because they either refer to events that are not the primary focus of Book Six or are not events that are foretold to Adam. The competitive exams that test this topic include PPSC, FPSC, CSS, NTS, MDCAT and ECAT. Practice more at AnsweringExams.Com.
