Where marks usually go

  • Writing generally about Landslide(Hazard Zonation Mapping) without directly resolving: “Disaster preparedness is the first step in any disaster management process.”
  • Under-developing the second scoring limb: “Explain how hazard zonation mapping will help in disaster mitigation in the case of landslides.”

Value addition

  • Cause→mechanism→outcome flowchart or compact process diagram
    → Draw it in the body, next to the point it supports.
