A rhetorical question is one that is asked without expectation of an answer, often with the implication that the answer is known to the person or group addressed. It is actually a persuasive argument couched as an unanswered, or unanswerable, question. Example : "Are we going to put up with more foolishness from our elected officials?" (The person speaking implies that the answer should be "no".) Example : "Are you going to keep bothering me?" (The speaker does not want to be bothered.)
