Answer-A motley crew of (A)/hapless musicians and street performers (B)/are seen trying to show up citizens...

The phrasal verb lsquoshow uprsquo means lsquoto arrive somewhere in order to join a group of people, especially late or unexpectedlyrsquo. This is not the correct phrasal verb to be used. The correct phrasal verb here is lsquocheer uprsquo. If someone cheers up, or something cheers someone up, they start to feel happier. A motley crew of hapless musicians and street performers are seen trying to cheer up citizens in what appears to be a breadline.
