Want this question answered?
Not very. "To desing" is not a verb.
A rhetorical question.
That could be described as rhetorical support.

One definition could be, that is not straightforward with clear distinctions between facts and opinions. It could be rhetorical - effectively posing veiled questions. It could one that uses many difficult, perhaps overlapping, arguments, examples, etc to make the case. It may simply be ornate, convoluted, verbose, circumlocutory.
A rhetorical question is a question uttered with no expectation of an answer. The purpose is to make the audience pause and think about what the answer could be, and the implications of that answer. Rhetorical questions help influence the audience's opinion. Examples would be:Do you want your city looking like a rubbish dump?When are we going to give returned service-men the respect they deserve?How long do we have to put up with this treatment?Are you out of your mind?
It would be helpful if you could provide the excerpt you are referring to so that I can identify the rhetorical device used by G. K. Chesterton in that specific passage.

No. It is asking a question that really does not need an answer, in order to make a point. Ever hear anyone say "How could I be so stupid?" That is a rhetorical question. They do not expect you to tell them how they could have been that stupid. It is also used in advertising quite a bit. "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?" or "Aren't you glad you use Dial?" are examples.
Because a rhetorical question is no 'question' at all - the speaker does not want an answer. Instead it is a declarative sentence. For rhetorical reasons (!) the formerly declarative sentence's syntax was converted to the syntax of a interrogative sentence - just for rhetorical reasons. If you have a problem understanding this, think of it like this: You could just say "Lisa, I love you" but instead you say something like this "Lisa, your hair is golden as the sun - I adore thee". It's just a lingual trick of the trade to emphasize something. So the rhetorical question is a declarative sentence which is converted to a 'question' to make it rhetorical interesting. Example: "We don't need a fifth wheel on this car." becomes "Do we really need a fifth wheel on this car?"
There is various different ways of saying it, but I think the most common one is when you use it as "rhetorical question". For example: If in a speech; you could say, for example: "How is this government going to combat the growing issue of obesity?" without expecting an answer. Then you would go on to answer the question yourself. Rhetorical questions are commonly used speech tools to engage audiences, and hence are popular in the political sphere. Effectively, you would use a rhetorical question when trying to sound knowledgeable and also when stating your intentions, etc etc. Many Politicians have been criticized for using rhetorical language too heavily, and terms like "empty rhetoric" tend to pop up. This refers to using such language in an inneffectual manner to fill out speeches without carrying a significant amount of meaning. "Rhetorical" can also be used to describe the nature of someone's public speech style, for example "His speech was extremely rhetorical". I hope that answers your question
