Official Explanation

If many concert venues in Texas offer only country music performances, that would help explain the relatively low percentage of venues overall that offer other kinds of performances.

The fact that Minnesota concertgoers prefer rock music to jazz does not help explain why rock performances are offered at fewer venues in the state than jazz performances.

The Florida birthplace of a famous violinist does not help explain why fewer Florida venues offer classical music performances than performances in other genres. It also does not help explain why the percentage of Florida venues that offer classical concerts is lower than the percentage of venues in most other states that offer classical concerts.

Texas has a large number of venues specifically devoted to country music.
The option helps understand ‘Texas has 63 country music as compared to less than 20 in each of remaining Genres.’
. Does explain.
In general, Minnesota's concertgoers prefer rock music to jazz.
But the information in the table is opposite. More concertgoers preferring rock music to jazz should have resulted in more venues for rock music.
Does not explain.

The most famous classical violinist in the country comes from Florida
If the most famous classical violinist in the country comes from Florida, then may be there should have been more number of venues for classic in that location as compared to the number in other cities.
Does not explain the lower number in Florida again.

What do they mean by "percentage"? If those are percentages, then wouldn't it be necessary to know the total number of venues per state? Also, the sum per state is not a 100%­

­Hi, each venue could have more than one type of musical genre performances.
Because of these overlaps, the total can go above 100%.
