A busker is a street performer. They owe their origins to the jesters and travelling minstrels who entertained Egyptian Pharaohs, and Middle Age Lords. Literally defined as a person who entertains in public places for money, a busker has no set skills he must have. He can juggle, eat fire, play music, or ride a unicycle among many other things. As appreciation for a busker's performance, spectators are supposed to put coins in the performer- provided hat. You can find buskers performing around the world in places like England, Canada, Italy, and New Zealand, but not all areas welcome these street performers. Laws tend to lump buskers together as either panhandlers or vendors. Panhandlers cannot be taxed, and are illegal, so buskers face prosecution if caught. Vendors sell goods, which is what a busker's performance is termed, and need a permit for tax purposes. This method has its drawbacks as buskers seldom make large profits in the first place. Often they must be invited to perform at a location to avoid legal hassles.
50. The passage implies that ----.
A) all buskers used to be street sellers
B) buskers make a fortune as long as they are registered taxpayers
C) only four countries in the world let buskers perform their skills
