Hey guys.
I want to ask you guys how to deal with SC questions that ask you to deal with 'RHETORICAL CONSTRUCTIONS'.
First, I am non-native and got V.34 on last exam, trying to raise this score perhaps over 38 on the next one...
Except for this rhetorical constructions topic, I usaully get over 90% of answers correct, but I get below 30% in this specific type of questions.
I have know idea how I should deal with these sorts.
Grammar seems to be alright and all the answers seem to be correct to me.
I am studying with 'The official guide for GMAT 2015' trying to get familiar with real GMAT questions..
Are there any books or materials that I can refer to?
Or is there any method I should to deal with these kinds of questions?

Dear milkywayi,
I'm happy to respond.
Yes, Rhetorical Construction is one of the trickier sections of the SC section. Here's a blog with practice questions I wrote about this topic: https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/rhetorical ... orrection/
The particularly frustrating thing about this topic for non-native speakers is that there are not really any hard & fast rules, just guidelines. Here are a couple videos about guidelines:
https://gmat.magoosh.com/lessons/918-sub ... -proximity
https://gmat.magoosh.com/lessons/920-avoid-redundancy
Mostly, though, to master this area, one has to develop intuition for sophisticated writing. Developing intuition is not a rule-based thing, the way grammar tends to be. Developing intuition is about the brain's pattern-recognition skills, and you develop these only through experience. In particular, you need to READ. See this blog for more:

Does all this make sense?
