For question b) you need to talk about minimum 2 features but I usually do 3 in case. And for example it asks for the key features for the Hundred Flowers Movement so I would set it out like this:

Paragraph 1 - One of the key features of the Hundred Flowers Movement is Mao's aims. He was inspired by Khrushchev's secret speech. He wanted to genuinely improve China or other historians may say this was his way of finding out his opponents and counter-revolutionaries so he could arrest them.

Paragraph 2 - What happened. There were a flood of responses, more than Mao expected.

Paragraph 3 - The results. Over 500,000 critics of Mao were rounded up and the press became censored.

For other events this would be the same layout. I hope this helped!
