If you write only one word, you won't get a mark. However, in an answer choice, only one word is necessary (cattle) but one more word is also acceptable (young or the), then you will get one mark. Usually, the words will be given in the brackets like these - (young) cattle, (the) cattle. read less

What is the best way to use my 60 minutes time in academic writing test of IELTS?
Academic writing has two sections. Task 1 and Task 2. For Task 1 you have to write min 150 words and for task 2, min of 250 words. Divide your 60 minutes time accordingly. I suggest, you give 20 minutes for ask 1 and 40 minutes for task 2.
