Solution :

The correct option is (B), (C), (D), (E), (A).

To determine the correct chronological sequence, we can look at the publication years of each of the specified works by the British academic and cultural critic Richard Hoggart:
1. (B) The Uses of Literacy: Published in 1957, this is Hoggart's most famous work, which looks at the influence of mass media and commercial culture on the working class in Britain.
2. (C) Higher Education: Demand and Response: Published in 1970, this work compiles papers and discussions addressing the changing landscape and demands of higher education.
3. (D) A Local Habitation: Published in 1988, this is the first volume of Hoggart's three-part autobiography (covering his life and times from 1918 to 1940).
4. (E) A Sort of Clowning: Published in 1990, this is the second volume of his autobiography (covering the years 1940 to 1959).
5. (A) An Imagined Life: Published in 1992, this is the third and final volume of his autobiography (covering the period from 1959 to 1991).

Arranging these works from the earliest publication date to the latest yields the chronological order:
(B) 1957 ⇒ (C) 1970 ⇒ (D) 1988 ⇒ (E) 1990 ⇒ (A) 1992.
