Hey! The best bet is to steal some key terms/phrases from the question and re-use them in the first/last sentences in your paragraphs. If you can do this and it makes sense, then the chances are that your paragraph has correctly addressed the question! Of course you can't just talk gibberish, then add the phrase, and expect that to work. But this is a good way to indicate.

Besides that, in every sentence you write, you should be able to relate what you are saying (indirectly) back to the question at hand. If you can't, then you need to ask yourself why it is there! :)

This is a really hard thing to get the hang of; keep working hard!
