A rhetorical question is normally one that does not expect an answer. It is commonly included for its effect on a reader or listener. So a paragraph in a book might begin: 'Who, then, controlled the army?', thus confronting the reader with the issue to be discussed but not expecting him or her to answer the question. The answer will then be supplied by the author. Such a rhetorical question may also be a statement of the author's own views: 'Was it not the king who controlled the church?'
The art of rhetoric is the art of persuasion with words, whether written or spoken. When the words are persuasive but the content meaningless the response can be: 'That is mere rhetoric.'

It is a RHETORICAL QUESTION. What makes a question rhetorical is that it is not asked as a question, but more as a fact, and does not require an answer. It is usually defined as any question asked for a purpose other than to obtain the information the question asks. * Example : "Why do you keep doing that?" It is commonly used as a persuasive element in a speech or text. * Example : "Does the government really care about the taxpayer?" Sometimes the question is open to an uninvited answer. * Example : "Do you take me for a fool?"
