1..It was Wrigleys, and teachers still bark, "Spit out that gum".

2..We're talking playing cards, as rbny & zorro well know, being lifetime poker players
who never know when to hold them, know when to fold them.

3..Rbny again who knows tenor Mario Lanza cavorted around the Eternal City.

4..Knights in a 4some with Trafalgar.

5..One of many mishaps of E. Germany. Thank you geordi & ed4.

6..Zorro has it, the power ballad Unchained Melody.

7..If one wins the 1st 24, that's a whole set, a golden set in tennis parlance. Poor Sara Errani was recently victimized thusly.

8..Kenya & Uganda fulfill this question, and VAUC is the one.

9..Gloria Lynne, mostly a jazz singer & back up, had one hit.

10..I think it was a buttercup, but zorro's got the idea.

You struggled here, but made up for it in "B" for an 80% total.
