A speaker might use a rhetorical question in a speech to engage the audience, prompt critical thinking, or emphasize a point in a more interactive way. It can also create a more conversational tone and encourage audience participation.
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.
C. The weather on the day of the speech. The weather would not typically be a crucial part of the context to consider when giving a speech on unemployment.
An antonym of speaker might be observer, or maybe listener.
Direct speech is when the exact words spoken by a person are repeated within quotation marks, while indirect speech is when the meaning of what someone said is reported without using their exact words. In direct speech, the speaker's words are presented as they were spoken, whereas in indirect speech, the reporting verb and tense might change based on the context.
A demonstrative speech is a type of informative speech where the speaker shows the audience how to do a particular task or completes it while explaining each step. The primary purpose is to provide clarity and understanding on a specific topic by giving a hands-on demonstration or visual aids. These speeches usually involve practical skills, activities, or processes that can be easily followed by the audience.

A rhetorical question does not require an answer. Rhetorical questions might introduce a topic in class, or be 'food for thought'.
This might not be that good but... For any speech you need to have an attention grabber. This might be a joke, dramatic gesture or a rhetorical question. Maybe you could find a joke or riddle related to 'why it's good not to lie' That is a pretty hard topic to talk about eh?
Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the question must be. :) AND Rhetorical questions make the audience think about an answer to the question but no response is needed. This makes the reader think of all the possible answers, which then becomes memorable to them.
A rhetorical question in math might be, "Isn't it obvious that two plus two equals four?" This type of question is not meant to elicit an answer but to emphasize the certainty or simplicity of a mathematical truth. It highlights that some concepts in math are so fundamental that they don't require further explanation.
When the audience knows all about the problems
Since you didn't say WHO the speaker was or what "this" might be, we cannot answer the question
If you have a reputation for writing essays really well you might end with a rhetorical question, but unless it's just perfect in the context I'd advise against it.
Answer this question… Convivial
If by this question you're making reference to the Robert Browning poem "Porphyria's Lover" the poem's speaker strangled Porphyria with her hair. If you are actually asking about a speech someone has perhaps made on the disease called porphyria, I have no idea as to how one might cure oneself of it and thus tender instead my sincere apologies.
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.'
Rhetoric is the art of convincing people verbally. Rhetorical questions are used in an argument when asking a question forces the listener to think of an argument that they might not otherwise have considered. A well-constructed rhetorical question will both direct the listener's thoughts to a question they hadn't considered, and also have only one sensible answer, being the one the writer wanted.
