What is a "rhetorical question"?
A rhetorical question is a question posed for effect or to make a point rather than to elicit an answer. It is often used to encourage the listener to consider a particular idea or perspective. For example, asking "Is the sky blue?" does not seek a response, as the answer is obvious. Rhetorical questions can be a powerful tool in speeches and writing, helping to engage the audience and provoke thought without requiring direct interaction. They emphasize the speaker's message and can enhance persuasion and emotional appeal.
