In answer choice e it uses the phrase only people who. My question is if this introduces a necessary or sufficient clause. I know that only is used to introduce necessary and people who is used to introduce sufficient, but what does it introduce when combined like this?

    @sydneycrudo123, Happy to help. "Only" here is the key, and you're right that if "people who" isn't preceded by anything, it introduces the sufficient condition. However, since "only" precedes "people who," we know this part of the sentence is the necessary condition. Thus, (E) is saying that feeling secure is necessary to know whether one's actions are legal Know for sure whether their actions are legal - >people must feel secure Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
