Hello GMATNinja mikemcgarry daagh, could you please explain why option B is incorrect? I mistakenly chose B but I was not 100% convinced.
B) While universal law arises from the principle of justice, the international judge's authority originates from its integrity.
I think there could be 2 issues with option B:
1) The possessive adjective "its" logically refers to "authority", eventually distorting the intended meaning of the author.
The author wants refers to the judges' "integrity", not to the integrity of the authority;
2) Meaning conveyed through the use of the adversative subordinative conjunction "while".
Maybe the author wants to ultimately draw an analogy between the "universal law" coming from "the principle of justice", and "the authority of international judges" coming from "their integrity".
Maybe the author does not mean to deliver a contrast between these 2 concepts, and I failed to grasp the intended meaning of the author.
I preferred option B over option C because I mistakenly thought that the construct "JUST AS...SO" necessarily required the ausiliary verb "do" after "SO", like in: "Just as universal law arises from the principle of justice, so the authority of international judges does from their integrity".
Thank you in advance!
