Hi @sprozes,
Thanks for the question! Note that the second sentence of the stimulus tells us that if a novelist is popular, then they will be capable of empathizing with people who have goals completely different from their own. Now notice, this can be diagrammed as
Novelist popular —> Can empathize with people who have goals completely different from their own
And if we take the contrapositive of this statement
~Can empathize with people who have goals completely different from their own —> ~Novelist popular
Which means that (C) must be false, based on the contrapositive.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
