Incomplete sentences

Bbmalunda10y ago
Below is the examiners comment on incpomplete sentences . What exactly dose he want from us here. Don’t use incomplete sentences when making a point. Marks are awarded for complete points made in full sentences. However, you can use bullet points and numbered paragraphs, and headings when appropriate, to structure an answer to a question. But points made should be in complete sentence

Basically he does not want one-word answers. For example, if there is a project and the NPV is negative then we will reject. However, simply saying "reject the project" is not enough. He wants a complete sentence, so you should write "reject the project because the NPV is negative"

Thank you Sir i have failed the last two sittings with a 42 and a 44 marks. I am not sure were i am going wrong. My only plan now is to extend my study time two fold and continue practicing questions.
