Use of the particle 에 other than for marking locations?
This sentence in a textbook: 잘 듣고 질문에 답하세요 includes the particle 에 to mark 질문. What is this saying? Isn't the case that "에" is only used as a location-marking particle, meaning "to" or "at"?

Also, does the opening"잘" suggest anything other than to listen well or carefully? Is it a kind of additional politeness?

Thanks!!
