A. POPOS
B. POPS
C. SOPS
D. OOOPS
Answer: A. POPOS. Known as Privately-Owned, Publically-Open Spaces.

2. Back when San Francisco was called Yerba Buena, the shoreline stretched ¾ of the way further inland. This street marks the border of where the Pacific Ocean once met the city.
A. Sansome Street
B. Kearny Street
C. Grant Avenue
D. Montgomery Street
Answer: D. Montgomery Street. This rooftop terrace crowns the beautiful building of One Montgomery designed in 1908. From the terrace look East and imagine the Bay reaching Montgomery Street.
