Parts (i) and (ii) are rigorously explained so one may say that they are professionally done. Part (iii) is not "professional", mainly because you make an assertion without justifying it. You say that "the probability density ##~| \Psi(x,t)|^2~## spreads over time indicating that the wave packet disperses as time progresses." To make the argument stick, you need to do the integral in equation (13), find ##~|\Psi(x,t)|^2~##, identify the width and argue that it is time-dependent.
