Hey there,

The statement is

"The only people for me are the mad ones."

'The only' introduces the sufficient condition, so we have

people for me - >the mad ones

The contrapositive is

not the mad ones - >not the people for me

In looking at the answer choices, (B) has exactly what we mapped out.

(B) says PFM - >M

PFM is an abbreviation of 'people for me' and M is an abbreviation for
'the mad ones.' This exactly matches our diagram, so it's the correct
answer.

The key to getting this question right is remembering that 'the only'
always introduces sufficient conditions.

Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any more questions!
