Answer 2

Answer:

“Then took the other” means “took/opted for the second out of the two which was not considered for” at that time.

“Just as fair” means “the act of opting for the other weighed equal in all ways”, or “the action of opting for the other was equally justified or just fine”.

This has nothing to do with where the speaker was at that time.

How do you know it was he ? It could be she, with whatever context you have provided. Please do not assume that I have also read it. The person can’t say it was “better” claim/decision, because he/she earlier says, “just as fair”, which makes it equal.
