Note to class: This problem contains a grammatical error with its "only" in the stimulus. In casual spoken English, we often put "only" before a verb out of habit, leaving context and vocal inflection to do all the work for the meaning. However, in writing, this creates bad literal meanings. "Only" being next to "contract" creates the question, why aren't you going to do anything else with them? Is that the only Verb?
Think of it like this:
Misplaced: "I only ate three slices of pizza."
Literal meaning: The only action you performed on the pizza was eating it (you didn't bake, smell, or buy it).
Corrected: "I ate only three slices of pizza." - Meaning you only ate 3 slices, not 4,5,6, etc.
In this problem, the necessary indicator is not next to what it indicates because it uses spoken language.
