Assuming you're not asking rhetorically, it's one that's eloquent or with
intent to pursuade. Also a question phrased as "a literary exercise".
"Of, belonging to, concerned with, or comprised in the art of rhetoric."
or "Of persons: Given to the use of rhetoric.". :-)
Zaphod (Head 1): "Why are my heads asking each other rhetorical
questions?"
Zaphod (Head 2): "Oh, were they rhetorical?"
