Hi!

This sentence should read:
"There is no reason to limit how many vitamins you take, any more than they can limit how much water you drink."
(Vitamins is a count nound, water is a noncount noun)
Other examples of "any more than"
-You can't expect to speak English perfectly after a month of classes, any more than you can expect a baby to do a Calculus problem.
-He doesn't seek money any more than he seeks fame. He wants both.
-Tribal names, such as Dakota and Cheyenne, have special meaning in Native American culture. Using them as first names isn't considered respectful to the people any more than naming your baby God would be interpreted as honoring God.

The answer is A. Why? Because both exercising and brushing your teeth are habits, something you do daily (or at least you should!)
Hope this helps! |
