   Why this is right

   Amazingly, this is the only answer that puts "will not experience growth" on the right side, so that shortcut will get us all the way to the correct answer here. The contrapositive of the rule, as stated, looks like this: not the case that nation won't consumer confidence ? experience balanced w/ small amount economic of consumer skepticism growth In a nation where the prevailing attitude is exclusively confidence, then it's not the case that consumer confidence is balanced with a small amount of skepticism. Thus, the nation won't experience economic growth.
