"The only", sufficient or necessary?

Hello everyone!

I am in the middle of reviewing PT 68 section 1 question 24.
I had a question about the answer choices.
Is answer choice E translating into "If there is a reasonable solution to the problem of overdue water bills in the city -> enact a law that classifies water bills as taxes" or is it the other way around, enacting a law that classifies water bills as taxes as the sufficient condition. I know that "the only" signifies a sufficient condition but sometimes I get confused from time to time and mistake it for necessary condition depending on where the term "the only" appears in the sentence.

Thanks a bunch for your inputs!

    Hey,

    I think a lot of times we end up second guessing ourselves. You should definitely trust your LSAT fundamentals and core curriculum lessons. Otherwise you will lose confidence, speed, and accuracy.

    The only would translate the sentence into:
    solution ----> Law that classifies water bills as taxes.

    I hope that helps : )
