L'Angleterre ou La Grande Bretagne..

I'm doing last years paper and one of the answers is England, but the mark scheme will only accept La Grande Bretagne not L'Angleterre, does anyone know why?

Grande Bretagne is the island including England, Scotland and Wales. L'Angleterre is England only. I suspect that this is the reason.
