Answer 14

According to my dictionary, the accurate definition for the correct literary term would be: asked merely for effect with no answer expected

Whatever. I'm closing the question.

Answer 16

@Conqueror why do you insist on causing trouble to make people mad? Can you just staaaahp??????? Plus you're getting annoying bc you keep popping on my notifications bar. Yes answers are too allowed. Direct answers, no, but helping someone check their answer, yes. I just tried help him/her check their answer now stop it and go away. If you're not going to help him/her, then just stop.

Answer 17

Causing trouble ? All I've done is attempt to guide the user to understanding. At least I'm giving it a shot.

Answer 18

@Caitlyn_Morgan

Search the meaning of the word "rhetorical".

Answer 19

I understand rhetorical questions. I think the question is referring to the repetition of " And do you now.." Not the fact that the individual questions were rhetorical.

Answer 20

I understand what you thought it was, but some questions are made to trick you.

Answer 21

Ok, fair enough. I can see where you were coming from.

Answer 22

Anyways, I've got to run now. Good day.
