Explanation:
The phrases presented in the question above, must be presented in their negative forms. For this, it is necessary that you look for a sentence that in a coherent and cohesive way, presents the same meaning of the original sentence, but in a negative way. Thus, we can consider that if the milk goes sour if the box is not sealed, the correct phrase would be "If the carton is not sealed, then the milk will be sour." Similarly, if the flowers only break down if it rains, it means that if it doesn't rain, there is no possibility of the flowers blooming.
Lastly, if some people will only come if you build something, if you don't build it, people will not come.
