老师，

for 3) Would i get the 1m if i did not say 'for eg to mate'? i thought if you put that, it will be excess denied?    Should be correct.

4) The tigers do not need to camouflage as there are no preys.      Improper.     

7) Can i say the colour of dust is able to blend in to the environment?     Improper.    Drab and Khaki both has the meaning of brown colour.

8a) It rained heavily and continuously    Really depends on the marking scheme.

8b) the qn wants use your own words...   

so i put = cows were captivated on small island     Improper.  Captivate is to attract, but in the passage, the cows were traped, unwillingly.
                                                                                               Island must be changed, because its not real island.
           = the duty of moving the cattle on the ranch was terminated     Correct.

9) - Horses were roaming freely      Improper.      There is a key word, "uninhabited", in the passage.
    - Cowboys were usually sitted on their horses back and not standing on foot.  Improper.   According to the passage, Grady was refering to the specific time when those horses were caught. Your answer is giving a general statement.

11a) They were afraid of him    Improper.

12) The horses will be obedient and listen to their command.   Correct.

random : of any kind     Improper.
intersecting : linking      Improper.
soothing : comforting    Correct.
tethered : completely still    Improper.

Hello, can you see if I have gotten some of the marks? A million thanks! :)
Q4. The bright colours of the stripes of tigers do not blend into the dull colour of the cage, thus they seem 'striking'.
Q7 Khaki will hinder the view of the enemies to avoid being detected, just like the function of dust.
Q8a. The rain fell over a large area.
Q8b
(i) Cows were kept and left undisturbed in restricted areas
(ii) The chasing and rounding of cattles in enclosures were temporarily stopped.
Q10. Its movement was restrained by being tied up and it could only hop up and down to avoid falling down.
Q11b. It was their last and utmost effort to escape.

Q4. The bright colours of the stripes of tigers do not blend into the dull colour of the cage, thus they seem 'striking'. Correct. It would be better if you can leave out 'dull colour' because it was not mentioned. Better still if you can mention the change in the invironment.
Q7 Khaki will hinder the view of the enemies to avoid being detected, just like the function of dust.  Improper. Colour must be mentioned.
Q8a. The rain fell over a large area.  Improper. Rain fell over a large area were not necessarily 'heavy'. It could be light rain. The idea of 'sheet' is not delivered.
Q8b
(i) Cows were kept and left undisturbed in restricted areas.  Improper. We cannot say the cows are undisturbed. In fact, the flood forced the cows to move to relative higher land (so called 'island').
(ii) The chasing and rounding of cattles in enclosures were temporarily stopped. Correct.
Q10. Its movement was restrained by being tied up and it could only hop up and down to avoid falling down. Correct. It's better to leave out 'to avoid falling down'.
Q11b. It was their last and utmost effort to escape. Improper. You must mention they were frightened.
