How does one know when a question is rhetorical?
A rhetorical question is usually asked to make a point or prompt thought, rather than to seek an answer. It often does not require a response and is designed to be more of a statement or expression of the speaker's viewpoint. The tone, context, and intention behind the question can help indicate when it is rhetorical.
What does rhectorical question mean?
It is a question posed for effect and not because an answer is expected. Usually the answer is obvious. It can be used in a humorous or negative way or sarcastically or to make a point. Some examples: instead of saying 'I don't know', someone could say 'how would I know?' or in an unpleasant situation 'do we have to stand in this line?' 'why is this taking so long?' it's only rhetorical if an answer is not expected or if it's obvious.

What is the word for when a speaker asks question and then answers it himself such as when a coach speaking after a game might say Am I happy with my Quarterback's play No I am not?
First, let's hope that most of the time the coach is happy with the performance of his quarterback. That aside, the question is called 'rhetorical', not meant to be answered by the listener. It's not even necessary that the speaker answer it directly, as the coach does in the question. A speaker may ask a rhetorical question in the beginning of a speech or lecture, and then spend the next hour avoiding-- oh, I meant to say answering-- the question. The correct answer is "hypophora" which is the rhetorical technique of raising one or more questions and then proceeding to answer them. This differs from the answer above "rhetorical" in that a rhetorical question is not necessarily answered. It is related to a "procatalepsis" which is when the speaker anticpates an objection and then answers it.
