Conditional Reasoning Question

I have a question about a Logical Reasoning Question. I am getting confused on how to diagram it to get the answer they came up with.
Some critics of public funding for this research project have maintained that only if it can be indicated how the public will benefit from the project is continued public funding for it justified. If critics are right about this then, there would not be the tremendous public support for the project that even it critics acknowledge.
I diagramed. ~public funding justified>how public will benefit from project
~how public will benefit from project>public funding justified
how public will benefit from project>~tremendos public support
tremendous public support>~how public will benefit from project
The answer is Continued public funding for the research project is justified.
How did they come to this answer???
