Rhetorical Synthesis
Think of rhetorical synthesis as a mini writing assignment in multiple-choice form. You're given bullet-point notes and a goal, like "emphasize a contrast" or "introduce a study's findings." Your job is to pick the sentence that fulfills that specific purpose using the provided information.

The biggest mistake? Choosing an answer just because it includes the most details. More information isn't better if it doesn't serve the goal. Read the purpose statement twice before even looking at the choices.
