Yes, 1 is correct.

markers are sometimes ruthless
In sentence #2, "She *does* bowling on Saturdays," the word "does" is used instead of "goes." While the sentence might still be understandable to some, it is not grammatically correct. To assign a partial point for sentence #2, we can consider the overall structure and meaning of the sentence. Even though the verb choice is incorrect, the rest of the sentence is intact and conveys the intended activity.
If we assign two points to sentence #1, we could deduct half a point for the verb error in sentence #2. Therefore, the partial point for sentence #2 could be 1.5. However, it's important to note that grading sentences based on partial points is subjective, and different individuals may assign different values for such errors.
