What is the Chronological order of the appearance of the following periodicals?
(a) The Tatler (b) The Spectator
(c) The Examiner (d) The Reflector
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The Tatler was started by Richard Steele in 1709 and The Spectator by Addison and Steele in 1711. The Examiner listed with The Reflector is Leigh Hunt's weekly of 1808, and The Reflector was his quarterly of 1810 to 1811. That gives Tatler, Spectator, Examiner, Reflector; Swift's Tory paper The Examiner (1710) is a different journal.
