I've merged your topics, please try and keep your post in this topic!
To answer your additional question, see my previous post for those you have already asked.
I can't comment on why the ME website says that you won't score points, but 1.d(I) and 1.d(II) both score 6 points.
You can argue that tiredness affects your ability to talk and read, but I think you are unlikely to score points, these activities are aimed primarily at claimants who are mute or have serious speech issues and those that are blind or have serious sight problems.
The law creates a cleat divide between the ESA questions that deal with physical issues (questions 1-10) and mental health issues (11-17), however, this does not mean that you cannot argue that ME/CFS has aspects of both and that you should be able to score points in both sections.
