In milton's paradise lost, satan is described as a being of "mighty stature," or a. boastfulness b. height c. pride d. compassion

The correct answer is answer A "boastfulness".

The word boastful refers precisely to an overinflated sense of pride. In the poem, Satan's display of pride goes so far as to claim he's an equal to God. Pride isn't necessarily a bad thing, but all the negative connotations of the word are materialized in Satan's actions and speech, which certainly make him the personification of boastfulness.

Hope this helps!
