No, because then it wouldn't be a rhetorical question.
And if this is a rhetorical question, then i shouldn't be giving an answer right now ;)
Yes it is Yes it is I guess that would depend on if you want this question answered or not. If you don't really expect an answer, YES THIS QUESTION IS DEFINATELY RHETORICAL. ah. Then why did you answer?? :-) Touche.
That's correct. A question is a sentence that typically seeks information or clarification, while a rhetorical question is one posed for its persuasive effect without expecting an answer.
A rhetorical question is one that does not expect an answer. It is used as a form of persuasive speech.One example is: "How much longer do we have to suffer this government?" Obviously the questioner is not happy with the government and wants you to believe the same: he is interested in taking you through his own thought process, but not interested in a factual answer.A question that's not meant to be answered although it's asked.A question which the asker does not expect an answer to.A rhetorical question is a question that the questioner makes even though they already know the answer. They are often made to exacerbate dramatic or humorous situations.
The term for answering a rhetorical question is "rhetorical assertion" or "rhetorical answer." It is used to make a point or emphasize a statement without expecting an actual response.
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech where a question is asked not to elicit a response but to make a point or to emphasize a message. It's a way for the speaker to engage the audience and prompt them to think about the topic without expecting an answer.

That's correct. A question is a sentence that typically seeks information or clarification, while a rhetorical question is one posed for its persuasive effect without expecting an answer.
A rhetorical question is a question which doesn't require an answer.
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.
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.
Rhetorical question
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.
