Independent concert promoters, in order to maintain their credibility and compete with larger, publicly traded promoters, must represent the concert tours of well-known artists. To attract such business, these private companies have had to increase their guaranteed payments to famous clients. To offset these increases, smaller promoters have raised their ticket prices, resulting in low attendance at a number of recent shows.
Which of the following assertions is best drawn from the information above?
Independent concert promoters often lose money by representing well-known artists.
The largest independent concert promoter has fewer employees than the smallest publicly traded promoter.
Ticket price is the most important determining factor for concert attendance.
Future ticket prices for well-known artists will continue to increase.
The contracts between concert promoters and artists are not always based solely on revenue generated by ticket sales.
Ans this pls?

A is not correct, because nothing in the question tells you about how profitable concert promotion is. All we know is that independent promoters offer high priced concerts and get low attendance. But if the ticket price is high enough, these concerts might still be profitable.himu wrote: but Why not A ?
