As you might already know that in 14-mark question, you have to discuss at least 3 factors for whatever the question is about. Like:
Did Hajji Shariat Ullah contribute more to the spread of Islam than anyone else in the sub-continent before 1850? Explain your answer. [14]
Whether you agree or disagree, you have to support your opinion, like in the above, you disagree that Haji Shariat Ullah contributed better than anyone else. You go in favor of Shah Wali Ullah, you have to show that he (Shah Wali Ullah) was really the most important by discussing his successes. You would discuss at least three personalities, the first would be the one from question (here it is Haji Shariatullah), second you can take anyone like Syed Ahmed Shaheed Barelvi. And the 3rd would be the person you are in favor of (here Shah WaliUllah). The last para, finally, is the evaluation of what you have discussed above. The three top paragraphs will be all but discussion about their efforts. Here, in last para, you could say that the efforts were made by Haji ShariatUllah and Syed Ahmed however, they were not very successful, since they brought no or little change. But, Shah Wali Ullah 's efforts, although, brought little change at start but they were the forerunners of all the later movements like of Sir Syed Ahmed. It was, basically, Shah Wali Ullah's ideas that the later great leaders like M. A. Jinnah and Allama Iqbal acted upon. These, you have given the reasons why you go in favor of Shah Wali Ullah.

the 14-mark question, in fact, is like an argumentative. The better you express your point, the better marks you get. If you haven't enough time to discuss the points much, but a better summing up of the question can bring you better marks. And remember, this question should NEVER be ruttfaied! Examiner looks for clues of nonsense which can come from ruttafication and once discovered, you can't achieve a good mark. The more you use your reasoning and your own thinking, the better you achieve.

Best of Luck

Dear RAMEEZA, there is no opening paragraph as such you mentioned. Although, if without that sentence, your answer is incomplete, you may mention it but the more to-the-point is our answer, the better it is liked by examiner. Examiners look for facts that really mean something and can be given credits. If you wander around in sentences like 'what I think is that' or saying like 'Shah Wali Ullah was really a great leader' instead of that you could simply tell the main fact i.e. why Shah Wali Ullah was a great leader? I hope you understand what I mean. And you don't need to aim for marks, aim for the Levels of mark scheme. You need to see the Mark Schemes for better approach. Here I am attaching the mark scheme of November 2011 in which the above mentioned question about Shah Wali Ullah can be seen.

For a 14 mark question, 3-4 points are enough. Write them separately in paragraphs, and do use firstly, secondly, thirdly to discuss points. A length of about a single (Cambridge) exam sheet is enough. I wrote the same length, and achieved an A.
