The correct answer is: We control population but we do not prosper
$\mathrm{p}$ : we control population, $\mathrm{q}$ : we prosper $\therefore$ we have $\mathrm{p} \Rightarrow \mathrm{q}$
Its negation is $\sim(\mathrm{p} \Rightarrow \mathrm{q})$ i.e. $\mathrm{p} \wedge \sim \mathrm{q}$ i.e., we control population but we do not prosper.
