Identify the correct clause structure in this complex sentence: 'The research findings cannot validate the hypothesis, any more than a single raindrop can create a flood.'

A. Two independent clauses connected by 'any more than'

B. Main clause + comparative clause introduced by 'any more than'

C. Conditional clause followed by result clause

D. Parallel structure using correlative conjunctions

答案解析

核心考点：主从复合句结构识别。解题思路：'any more than'引导比较状语从句修饰主句。选项分析：B正确，主句'The research findings...hypothesis'后接than引导的比较从句。A错误（从句非独立），C错误（无条件关系），D错误（无并列连词）。易错点：容易误判为并列结构而选择D。

正确答案：B
