Rhetorical Skills Questions on
the English Test
The ACT
writers break Rhetorical Skills questions into three
categories:
-
Writing Strategy
- Organization
- Style
Some people may find these questions more challenging
than the Usage/Mechanics questions because there are no rules that
strictly determine the Rhetorical Skills answers. Others may find
them easier for that very reason—there’s little to memorize. In
any case, to answer Rhetorical Skills questions correctly you must
develop an intuitive sense for good English writing. We’ll show
you how below.
