A rhetorical question is asked to make a statement rather than to get an answer. These questions are often used in persuasive writing because they allow the reader to pause and think about the question. Therefore, they effectively hook a reader's interest and make them think about their response to the question.

A rhetorical question is a question someone asks without expecting an answer. The question might not have a response, or it might have an obvious answer. Sometimes these questions are asked solely to make a particular point.

Even when the answer is obvious, a rhetorical question can be a powerful tool to make that answer stand out. These questions are often asked for effect, with no answer expected. For instance, 'How could I be so stupid?' or 'Are you out of your mind?' are rhetorical questions that emphasize a point.

Repetition is a standard rhetorical device relating to or concerned with the art of rhetoric.

A question someone asks without expecting an answer or to make a point will make it stand out. The question can serve as a tool and cause the audience to think about it, even briefly, and come up with their answer or opinion. When this happens, the listener becomes an active participant in the speakers’ attempt to communicate, and the good news is that they will do it of their own volition.

When your listener or audience personally connects with the issues, facts, and events, they often become more emotionally invested in the story.
