Write as much as you need to write to correctly answer these questions. This will vary from student to student. Write as much as you need to in order to fully answer each question. Be as concise as you can be without sacrificing the quality of the content of your answers. You do not need to write formal essays. Just answer the questions clearly, precisely, and completely. Your goal is to make it obvious to your instructor that you understand the relevant material. Of course, a good answer will explain any philosophical or technical terms used in an answer.
Label each answer with the appropriate question number, including question sub-parts. Each question, and question sub-part, should begin a new paragraph. Do not rewrite the questions.
