You can acknowledge the statement without providing an answer, simply by nodding or saying "that's true" or "I agree."
To demonstrate and analyze rhetorical approaches means to show how different persuasive techniques are used in written or spoken communication to persuade an audience. This involves examining the use of ethos (credibility), pathos (emotion), and logos (logic) in the text or speech to understand how the author or speaker is trying to influence their audience.

Say, I'll think about it and if he tries to leave say wait I'm not done thinking. And then say ok or of course or even just a simple yes!
You don't say the seven forbidden words of Television. You don't say spiteful things to your friends. You don't say what your mother doesn't want to hear. And you definitely don't say ANYTHING that could get you fired.
indeed; of course; by all means; certainly; no doubt; right away; I agree; that is true; bingo! Remember that yes can mean different things. It can be the simple answer to a question of fact. "Are you comfortable?" "Yes." Yes can also be a response to a request. "Would you pick up some milk on your way home?" "Yes." Not all alternatives work with every use. If you asked "Is the water very cold?" you would not expect an answer of "Right away." Or: "Was it where you expected?" "I agree."
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.
It is a RHETORICAL QUESTION. What makes a question rhetorical is that it is not asked as a question, but more as a fact, and does not require an answer. It is usually defined as any question asked for a purpose other than to obtain the information the question asks. * Example : "Why do you keep doing that?" It is commonly used as a persuasive element in a speech or text. * Example : "Does the government really care about the taxpayer?" Sometimes the question is open to an uninvited answer. * Example : "Do you take me for a fool?"
You don't answer them, rhetorically speaking.
I would have to say that this is rhetorical question and thus need not be answered.
Right! No. Right! No... ARGH! As this is a rhetorical question I believe it is not supposed to have an answer. I also believe people shouldn't use wikianswers for rhetorical questions. Wikianswers is supposed to be used for finding out things not for fun with rhetorical questions. Things like this shouldn't be put on. Remember the one you saw before? Saying you are actually left to die? I would be utterly offended if they were saying that to me. So in conclusion, I suggest you do not put rhetorical questions up unless there should be an answer. P.S. Neither. You are not am I right. YOU ARE RIGHT! But unfortunately, you did not say why you are right so you are right about nothing. :P
are you dumb? (rhetorical question) Of course not! There is no chance, all characteristics say its a solid.
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?"
It can be seen as dismissive or condescending to say that a question is rhetorical because it implies that the asker shouldn't expect an answer or discussion. It's best to be mindful of the tone and context in which you use the term.
They are asking you a question, if you actually said yes it is then a rhetorical question. Another answer: It also indicated disbelief on the part of the questioner that you said "yes".
A rhetorical question is a question which does not expect an answer. For example: "What's the use?" Rhetoric is speech which is more concerned with style than with content. Thus, a rhetorical speech would be a speech which sounds great, but doesn't say a whole lot.
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.
