Where marks usually go
- Over-writing ‘What are non-farm primary activities’ while reducing ‘How are these activities related to physiographic features in India’ to a token paragraph
- Missing the evidence burden: this PYQ explicitly asks for examples/cases, so generic assertions on Physiography & Non-Farm Primary Activities cannot carry the answer
