College essay admissions question

this is probably a dumb question, but, if the instructions say to write an essay, and that you should respond to the following five questions, e.g.: 1) what are your goals; 2) what is your preparedness, etc. --

should one number and refer to the questions themselves as set out in the instructions; or

integrate the answers into the body of the essay.

I'm inclined to do the latter--I think it makes for more elegant writing, but I don't want to not follow the instructions!
