• The examiner expects a clear 3-point distinction — one for each road type — since it's a 3-mark question.
• A table format works well here as it shows contrast clearly; alternatively, use three labelled points.
• Key terms to include: "state capital," "district headquarters," "strategic importance," "Border Roads Organisation," and "north/north-eastern border areas" — these are directly from the textbook and fetch marks.
• Do not confuse State Highways with National Highways; National Highways link extreme parts of the country, while State Highways operate within a state.
