    Answer: It is common that your eyes are not green

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given an "if p, then q" statement (notation: p → q)

    the contrapositive is " if not q, then not p" (notation: ~q → ~p)

    In the given statement,

    p = your eyes are green q = it is not common

    So,

    ~p = your eyes are not green ~q = it is common

    Therefore, the contrapositive should be:

    If it is common, then your eyes are not green.

    But grammatically it sounds better to say,

    "It is common that your eyes are not green"
