Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on passage

As the discipline of international folkloristics developed, it became increasingly obvious that the "Lore" could no longer be considered separately from the "Folk" who created and transmitted it. Relying solely on folklore texts taken out of context led to possible errors in interpretation. Instead, folklorists came to understand that folklore had to be analyzed as it was performed. Observation of the performance of folklore could allow the trained folklorists to discern elements not always known or admitted by the performers.

74. Lore

can be separated from folk

is always limited to the perception of the folk

cannot be separated from folk

is not observed as a static frame work

75. Which statement is correct

Folklore contents could be observed out of context.

To understand folklore it is necessary to follow the performances.

Fieldwork cannot help to collect texts.

Context does not help to give clue for analysis.
