Answer:

to clear up confusion about an issue

Explanation:

The likeliest reason the author uses the phrase "a gross exaggeration" in paragraph 1 is that he wants to clear up confusion about an issue.

The word "exaggeration" means making something appear bigger than it actually is, so if the author describes something as being a gross exaggeration, then it means he wants to clear up confusion about an issue.

However, there is one long sentence that runs on a bit, meaning that it takes a while before you reach that period. So having different lengths of sentences means the pacing in the paragraph will vary.
