READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE ABOUT WHY DO PEOPLE COLLECT?

SELECT THE PERSON THAT BETTER MATCHES WITH THE STATEMENT.
Why do people collect?
Petra Engels owns 19,571 erasers, Carol
Vaughn has 1,221 bars of soap, and Ralf
Shrőder has a collection of 14,502 packets of
sugar. Many people love to collect things, but
why? Psychologists and collectors have
different opinions.
The psychologist Carl Jung believed that
collecting is part of our ancient human history.
Thousands of years ago, humans collected nuts
and berries. They kept them carefully and ate
them when there was no food. The best
collectors survived long cold winters or seasons
without rain. Their genes passed to future
generations. Nowadays, we still have a
collecting instinct.
Historian Philipp Bloom has a different
opinion. He thinks collectors want to make
something that will remain after their death. By
bringing many similar items together, the
collector gains historical importance.
Sometimes their collections become museums
or libraries, for example, Henry Huntington, who

founded a library in Los Angeles to house his
collection of books.
Author Steve Roach thinks that people collect
things to remember their childhood. Many
children collect things, but few have enough
money to buy the things they really want, and
they lose interest. In later life, they remember
their collections fondly. Now, they have enough
money and opportunity to find special items,
and they start collecting again. This way, they
can re-live and enjoy their childhood years.
Art collector, Werner Muensterberger, agrees
that collecting is linked to childhood. But he
believes we collect in order to feel safe and
secure. While babies hold blankets or toys to
feel safe when their mother isn’t there, adults
collect things to stop feeling lonely or anxious.
Autograph collector Mark Baker agrees that
collecting is emotional, but he doesn’t collect to
reduce anxiety. “For me, it’s the excitement,” he
says. “I love trying to get a famous person’s
autograph. Sometimes I succeed, and
sometimes I fail. Also, by collecting autographs,
