"Need" is often used on living things, whereas "required" is often used on non-living things.
For example:
- I need a stereo for my car.
- My car requires a stereo.
But when it goes to "question", we often use "need" instead of "require"...I am not sure why this is happening as "question" should be obviously considered as a non-living thing. Therefore, I am wondering which one should be a better choice while writing an analytical essay.
Several questions need to be answered.
