Three of these are statements. One is a question. Easiest way to spot a rhetorical question is if it has a question mark at the end. If they all have question marks at the end, some will sound like actually questions that someone wants to know the answer to. One will sound sarcastic because they don't expect an answer, like, "aren't you ashamed of yourself?", "kids sure grow up quickly, don't they?", "you ate that whole thing?". Some literary examples would be, "if you wingspan us, do we not bleed?", or "and ain't I a woman?"
