The scripts of the actors__________________________ 31. The CDs of the boys__________________________ 32.

A magician performed for the crowd. 40. A band played silly songs. 41. We laughed at a pair of jugglers. 42. Later, a group of acrobats performed. 2.10 Underline the subject in each sentence.

Streetcars were more common before World War II. 45. San Francisco has several old streetcars in use. 46. Many tourists ride them. 47. Downtown is a popular destination.
