A quick correction...
"Just as X, Y..."
AND
"Just as X, so Y..."
are BOTH correct idioms, so I wouldn't worry about the distinction for GMAT purposes.
... a bonus lesson here about "as" and "like":
It is dangerous to mix these two for any purposes.
Like: Can only be used to compare nouns
As: Can be used to compare clauses
"My uncle looks like my aunt." --> Correct: We're saying the two look similar to each other.
"My uncle looks at me as my aunt does."--> Correct: We're saying they both look at me in a similar way.
"My uncle looks as my aunt." --> Incorrect because "my aunt" is not a clause and needs "like."
"My uncle looks at me like my aunt does." --> Incorrect because we're comparing two clauses (how my uncle looks at me and how my aunt looks at me) and thus we need to use "as" instead of "like."
Hope that helps!
