修辭手法題：這種題目是修辭目的的變體。OG中大多數(shù)題目只考察一個詞組的修辭目的，而實際考試會對一句話甚至整段話的修辭目的進(jìn)行考察。一個是考修辭對象，一個是考修辭的手段。

　　比如說，《Meteorite Impact and Dinosaur Extinction》這篇文章第2題：

　　2. In paragraph 2, why does the author include the information that dinosaurs had flourished for tens of millions of years and then suddenly disappeared?

　　To support the claim that the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous is the best-documented of the dozen or so mass extinctions in the geological record

　　To explain why as many as half of the species on Earth at the time are believed to have become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous

　　To explain why paleontologists have always been intrigued by the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous

　　To provide evidence that an impact can be large enough to disturb the environment of the entire planet and cause an ecological disaster
