Explanation and Analysis:

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in which a question is asked to make a point, create a dramatic effect, or invite the audience to think, rather than to get a real answer from someone else. Often, the speaker or writer answers their own rhetorical question immediately to drive home their argument or point of view.
