Essay is written by tutor but I got a 0. Can someone help me correct the mistake?

I will attach it here.

The teacher said: Unfortunately, this doesn’t address the prompt. Course texts only.

So that means, the tutor used outside references which are not okay. Only the required text. I can send more information once you have started. (some powerpoints discussed in class)

Argumentative Essay: (800-900 words) Write a clear, plausible, convincing argumentative essay which answers these two questions: 1. Is propaganda undermining democracy? Ought its use be limited by the people?
