4 mark question so need a detailed explanation and I do not understand at all; why does an elastic band increase in length when a higher mass is added to it?

Do you cover Hooke's law? I'm not fully sure how you can get 4 marks but maybe go into elastic limit etc..
It will gain elastic potential and due to the added weight dragging it down to gravity. Not really sure how to get 4 marks but hope this helps you.
