Missing Premise Exercise
When working through the exercises, I am typically writing my contrapositive as my answer. I know it means the same thing (i.e. not x -> not y is the same at y ->x), but does it matter how I am coming to that conclusion? Or might the contrapositive be a wrong answer on the test? I just want to make sure I am not missing a crucial step before moving forward.

No, it does not matter. If you are getting the contrapositive in the drills, you can count that as correct! Doing so will not set you up for a wrong answer on the exam because you will never see a correct answer and its contrapositive listed as competing answer choices. Since they are equal in meaning, they would both be correct and the question would be flawed.
Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions!
