Detailed Explanation & Answer
The correct answer is 2: B and C only because Science and Poetry and The Philosophy of Rhetoric are indeed works by I. A. Richards.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Science and Poetry (Option B): Written by I. A. Richards, this book explores the relationship between science and poetry, discussing how each contributes to human understanding and emotional experience.

The Philosophy of Rhetoric (Option C): This is another work by I. A. Richards in which he examines the nature and function of rhetoric, especially the role of language in shaping meaning.

For the other options:

Concepts of Criticism (Option A) is associated with René Wellek, not I. A. Richards.
English Literature in Our Time and the University (Option D) was written by C. S. Lewis.
Thus, the only works by I. A. Richards in the list are B (Science and Poetry) and C (The Philosophy of Rhetoric), making Option 2 the correct answer.
