In most written exercises in an AC, if you are advising a client, it is usually better to prioritise writing in clear and plain English (i.e. what the clause does and why it matters commercially), rather than heavily referencing clause numbers. The assessors will often be looking at your ability to translate legal drafting into clear practical advice for clients.However, I don't think there is anything wrong with briefly anchoring your point to the agreement were helpful (e.g. referring to the "termination clause") or being more precise if you are writing for someone internally.I'd say a good balance is to explain the effect (+ any risks) in straightforward terms first, and then refer to the clause if it adds any clarity or helps identify it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
