Examiner: Why do young people often prefer rock music to classical music?
Speaker:I think young people often prefer rock music to classical music because rock music is different to classical music, so young people prefer rock music to classical music, but some prefer classical music, and not just rock music, but rock music is more popular generally than classical music.

In Case 4, the speaker's first answer repeats the question words: the second answer also repeats the question words, and then continues repeating them. This is an "overuse" of words, and the public version of the IELTS Fluency & Coherence Band Descriptors tells us:

IELTS Five = Uses repetition to keep speaking
IELTS Four = Uses much repetition to keep speaking ...

so the Speaker in Case 4 could only receive one of these scores. Remember, it is not just the number of words you use, but the way you use them, which gives you a good score.Good speakers do not repeat.
