Where marks usually go

  • Writing generally about Internal Security without directly resolving: “The North-East region of India has been infested with insurgency for a very long time.”

Value addition

  • Small labelled map/flow diagram showing the spatial relationship central to the question
    → Draw it in the body, next to the point it supports.
