Why? Please explain yourself.

lol Searz. It's how a survey works. Every university survey I've completed here in Australia is the same, there are three or more "similar" questions to get an average of the answer. For example, if you have:
Do you like to play League of Legends? (on page 1)
Do you enjoy playing League of Legends? (on page 2)
Do you dislike playing League of Legends? (on page 3)
On a scale of 1-10, wherein 10 is very much and 1 is not at all, how much do you get joy from playing League of Legends? (on page 4)
It's not because the guy has no more questions and is just rewording them for the heck of it ^^ The surveyor will be able to compare all of those similar answers and see if you actually enjoy League of Legends or not.
Will do the survey in a second :)

To see if people answer consistently.
But is that really necessary?
It seems like a waste of time to me.
I would for example answer the three questions Jhoi put forth the same, with a maximum of one step of variance (1/10), so the variance seems pretty negligible.

I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body.

I agree that some of the questions are basically the same and that you think this is quite unnecessary. But unfortunately its not... If you want to measure a construct like "consumer enjoyment" for example, you must to have 2-3 items (questions) which measure "consumer enjoyment" in the same way.
Otherwise it becomes invalid.
I will share the survey results asap.
