Question

question 2 of 10
which of the following is a rhetorical question?
a. is wind or solar power the most cost effective alternative to fossil fuels?
b. what qualifies a source of energy as renewable or nonrenewable?
c. which do you think will run out first? coal and oil or wind and sunlight?
d. what are some promising techniques for making solar cells more efficient?

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is one that is asked for effect, not to get an answer. In option C, it is obvious that coal and oil (non - renewable) will run out before wind and sunlight (renewable). The question is asked to make a point rather than seek information. Options A, B, and D are seeking information.

Answer:

C. Which do you think will run out first? Coal and oil or wind and sunlight?
