biology a level scientific drawing

Hey everyone, I am not aware which past paper this question is from, but this website has it https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/7-flgure-8-photograph-vertical-section-leaf-observed-using-optical-microscope-figure-8-0-7-q181656614
I cannot access the answer though (I don't think there's any drawing anyway). I'll copy paste the markscheme below, but im not exactly sure what it is asking for, like just lines? Thanks a lot in advance

Four bands (upper epidermis, palisade, spongy, lower epidermis)
Ignore waxy cuticle and vascular bundle/xylem/phloem
Give benefit of doubt for use of printed box as borderlines of drawing bands.
2. Band widths must look similar to photograph;
Ignore waxy cuticle and vascular bundle/xylem/phloem
Give benefit of doubt for use of printed box as borderlines of drawing bands.
Reject if cells drawn
Reject if lines are overlapping OR sketched
Ignore stomata and air spaces
Must be at least 3 bands shown
3. Correct label of one tissue;
Accept (upper/lower) epidermis/palisade mesophyll/spongy mesophyll/vascular bundle/xylem/phloem
Accept cells for mesophyll
Reject stoma
Reject waxy cuticle
Reject cell
