Hey! For future reference, since this isn't something needing feedback this would have been better off in the SOR board somewhere! :)

So an eight marker in that second section of the SOR1/2 paper is wanting a solid multi-paragraph extended response. In general, the more quotes the better, but you shouldn't just try and squeeze quotes in either - Quality over quantity. I'd recommend aiming for 3-4 bits of evidence in each paragraph (which might be sacred text references or "quotes," ethical aspects, specific examples, etc), so 7-8 in the whole response (as something to aim for, but it's what you do with them that is more important) :)
