Rhetorical questions
rhe·tor·i·cal ques·tion a question, asked in order to make a statement, that does not expect an answer —Cambridge Dictionary
A rhetorical question is a statement worded as a question in order to bring emphasis or show by understatement how obvious the point being made is.
“Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?” (James 4:4b)
Dealing with rhetorical questions grammatically is no different than dealing with other questions. We already have to restate questions in order to parse and diagram them.
