1) List and describe five duties of a project management office (PMO)?
You have the right content but they are looking for a structure with two to three sentences per paragraph, for example (plus a list first)
a) A PMO provided admin support to the project manager. This can include suties such as dssue of minutes, gathering progress data from the project team and the production of production and issue of reports and notifications to the project team. This support can be vital to a busy project manager running an complex and dynamic project.

1) List and describe five duties of a project management office (PMO)?
You certainly have the structure right, to get a good mark you will need to amplify the explanations in you answers. For example
1) List and describe five duties of a project management office (PMO)?
1.1 – Set Standards for how project run
1.2 – Ensure project management standards are followed
1.3 – Collect information & production of data for management review
1.4 – Source of guidance & advice for project managers
1.5 – Managing & facilitating the portfolio management
1.1) The PMO builds up a common set of practices, principles, & templates for managing projects. Typically this will include templates, forms and procedures for the control of the project. Standardisation means project manager can move more easily between different projects and new project managers get upto speed fast.
1.2) While the PMO sets project management standards, it also must ensure they are followed by performing regular assessment of projects. This will be done by regular assurance activities such as project audits and peer reviews.
1.3) The PMO will track the status of the projects in the organisation based on update from the projects manager. This may include updating the project status dashboard for senior managers. Typically this will track the key performance indicators for each project,
1.4) Source of guidance & advice to project managers. The PMO’s develope into a centre of excellence for project managemnet and can provide guidance & coaching to novice project manager or new project manager who need to understand how the organisation runs the projects. The centre of excellence would also provide opportunities for training and the sharing of lessons learned across the project management community
1.5) Capturing project request and ensuring each request has sufficient informations to assess the project, managing a resource capacity plan. Typically this will involved aggregating the different plans from across several project and reporting on the overall resource demand in the business unit.
I hope this helps

2) Explain five items you would consider as part of an end of project review.
Almost perfect, the last point would lose some marks as it is too brief, but overall a pass.
