9 Sample SAT Essay Question Write an essay in which you explain how Paul Bogard builds an argument to persuade his audience that natural darkness should be preserved. In your essay, analyze how Bogard uses one or more of the features in the directions that precede the passage (or featured of your own choice) to strengthen the logic and persuasiveness of his argument. Be sure that your analysis focuses on the most relevant featured of the passage. Your essay should not explain whether you agree with Bogard’s claims, but rather explain how Bogard builds an argument to persuade his audience.
