    Solution

    Options 1 and 3 can be eliminated because the first sentence does not give us an idea about the subject. Only from options 2 and 4, can we understand that we are talking about Henry James. Option 4 is incorrect because at first, it is mentioned that his parents took him abroad for a year. And in the second sentence, It is mentioned that he was taken to 2 countries for 3 years, which does not match with the first sentence. So, option 2 is correct.
