well "as" is used to compare actions, and "like" is used to compare nouns

we are comparing actions here,,,

b definitely ruled out

I think its B. Not confident :( .. A will be my second option.. But A should be the form "just as.... so..." format to be correct.. pls correct me if i am wrong

both b and a is grammatical. why A is correct, why here we compare actions not noun? that is the point

pls, explain fully

The sentence does not compare two nouns. It is comparing the effect of polio vaccine with that of mass dietary change and therefore we need two clauses for comparison and not simply two nouns.
So use of [color=darkred]'just as' [/color]which introduces a clause in '[b]A'[/b] is correct.

Hi guys.. Be cautious bout these 1000 series questions for SC. There seems to be lot of mistakes..

For example this question itself : check OG10 or OG11 which clearly says

"Just as ..... so " is the correct idiom in couple of questions. It doesnt contain any sentences with "just as...." structure. But this question doesnt contain "so" after "Just as...." .. Pls throw some light on this who are good at idioms.
