I hope it can help you
Explanation:
A rhetorical question is one for which the questioner does not expect a direct answer: in many cases it may be intended to start a discourse, or as a means of displaying the speaker's or author's opinion on a topic.It doesn't seem like there is a single syntactic method to distinguish them (the wiki article mentions a 'rhetorical question mark' that really didn't catch on, but that's not really syntax, just punctuation in writing).
some examples are:-
>You didn't think I would say yes to that, did you?
>Do you want to be a failure for the rest of your life?
>Do you want to be a success in this world?
Explanation:
question asked merely for effect with no answer expected.
example:1.is rain wet? ,2.can bird fly?
