71. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on the passage
Story-telling has been an integral ingredient of the cultures of all societies throughout human history. Narratives recounting unusual happenings accepted as truth on faith, or incidents rather vaguely believed to have taken place, and stories of purely fictitious formulations are told and retold. Correspondingly, myths, legends and folktales have been accepted as the three basic forms of narratives of universal distribution. These three have generally been taken as "prose narrative forms" in western folklore scholarship. It is, however, to be noted that this three-fold classification of narratives does not apply to folklore material in all societies, and secondly such narrative genres are not necessarily in prose form in all societies. This in various North-Eastern societies, both tribal and non-tribal, the lines between the three categories myth, legend and tale
are not very clearly drawn, and even if the notion of distinction between them is present, separate terms to designate them are not available. While folktales normally do have the prose character, other narrative items which have the contents normally associated with myths and legends are more often than not in the verse form and they are chanted or sung. This is particularly true of items connected with ritualistic beliefs and practices.
