Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation: The subject "need" is singular, and when expressing a cause-and-effect relationship, the verb should agree with the subject in number. So, the correct form is "stems" to be used with a singular subject.

So, the correct sentence is: His need for affection stems from his father's long absence.
