73. Read the passage below and answer the question based on the passage

What humanist and social scientists shared when they studied folklore was an interest in finding out how, why, and which traditional cultural mentifacts, sociofacts, and artifacts developed, varied and were passed on. From observations and records of these materials they hoped to reconstruct something of the unrecorded intellectual life of people of the past and present. The findings of such folklore research are applicable to many fields. Some literary scholars are interested, for instance, in the folk roots of epic and other narrative poetry and in the stylistic or thematic use of folklore in literature. Students of the fine arts may similarly consider the background of their subjects in folk music and folk art. Historians find that oral traditions, although seldom factually accurate, furnish unusual insights into grass-roots attitudes toward historical events. Psychologists have long held that folklore, in common with dreams and other manifestations of fantasy, contains clues to the subconscious. Sociologists may study folklore (especially protest lore) along with other data on group life and behaviour.
