analysis of the evidence, the relationship between the text and the graphs, as well as the author's
understanding of the use of the evidence.

passages that describe the information, analyzing key topics, identifying summaries, and analyzing
connections between ideas.
Rhetoric: Questions about the author's meaning, style, or tone. The drafting issues have more to do

removing information.
Standard English Conventions: The SAT Writing and Language Assessment focus on the use of
standard English conventions, such as consent, conjugation, and word choice. The second point is a
sentence structure that focuses on identifying independent and dependent sentences, using
