Answer 1

Answer:

C. Joseph Addison

Richard Steele and Joseph Addison were not just contemporaries—they were close friends and collaborators. Together, they co-founded The Spectator in 1711, a periodical that played a key role in shaping modern English prose and journalism. Their essays, often light, witty, and moral in tone, helped popularize the periodical essay as a literary form.
