To understand why this is the correct matching, let us look at each literary work/term in List I and match it with its respective author/critic in List II:

A) Practical Criticism matches with III) I. A. Richards.
I. A. Richards published his seminal book Practical Criticism in 1929. The work was based on experiments in which he gave students poems without any identifying information (such as author or title) to analyze, laying the groundwork for close reading and the New Criticism movement.

B) The New Criticism matches with I) John Crowe Ransom.
John Crowe Ransom published an influential collection of essays titled The New Criticism in 1941. This book gave the movement its name and formally established it as a major critical school focused on the close reading of texts.

C) The Well-Wrought Urn matches with IV) Cleanth Brooks.
Cleanth Brooks published The Well-Wrought Urn: Studies in the Structure of Poetry in 1947. This is a foundational text of New Criticism, where he argues for the centrality of irony, paradox, and metaphor in understanding the structure of a poem.

D) The Great Tradition matches with II) F.R. Leavis.
F.R. Leavis published The Great Tradition in 1948, in which he traces the lineage of the English novel through a select group of major novelists whom he deemed to represent the peak of English fiction (namely Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad).

Combining these pairs, we get the sequence A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
