(1)     Misinterpretation of questions - drawing out of context. Apparently due to poor knowledge of English language, candidates m is interpreted the question by drawing out of the context of the question.
(2)     Inaccurate representation of objects is another obvious weakness of candidates.

one composition.
(6)     Improper uses of space, as pictures were either drawn too small or too big for the available space.
