Which of the following are NOT rhetorical questions in the excerpt above? Select all that apply. ‘What did they live on?’ ‘What did they draw?’ ‘You can draw water out of a water-well,’ said the Hatter; ‘so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well—eh, stupid?’ ‘But why did they live at the bottom of a well?’ ‘Where did they draw the treacle from?’

‘You can draw water out of a water-well,’ said the Hatter; ‘so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well—eh, stupid?’ is not a rhetorical question.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question that requires a response. In this example, even though there is a question mark, you can tell by context clues that the person does not want this question to be answered, but are rather questioning themselves on how to say what they are trying to explain.
