AParalllelism. They come to the same conclusion of needing to do well on this test, but aren't repeating the same exact thing over again.

The answer to your question would be that the rhetorical device used in the statement is parallelism. That is, the correc option would be A.

Parallelism is a literary device in which parts of a sentence are grammatically identical or similar in terms of their construction. It can be a word, a phrase or a sentence. In this case, the only difference between both sentences is the verb: in one case it is the verb to want and in the other is "to need".
