    (A) No less an authority than
    (B) Nonetheless an authority
    (C) Nevertheless authoritarian
    (D) Not less an authority than
    (E) An authority not less than



    I hit the right ans but still skeptical what "No less an authority than..." means, can anybody clearify please ?

    A is the best answer.
    Failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

    Idiom is the key...
    clearly an A
    " Defeat should never be a source of discouragement, but rather a fresh stimulus "

    No less...than... is the correct idiom so it's A
    I am more than I appear to be,
    all world's strengths and power rests inside me.

    Why not E?

    "An authority not less than" clearly defines the subject.
