What is the purpose of gandhi's use of hypophora in this excerpt from his "banaras hindu university speech"?

i honor the anarchist for his love of the country. i honor him for his bravery in being willing to die for his country; but i ask him-is killing honorable? is the dagger of an assassin a fit precursor of an honorable death? i deny it. there is no warrant for such methods in any scriptures. if i found it necessary for the salvation of india that the english should retire, that they should be driven out, i would not hesitate to declare that they would have to go, and i hope i would be prepared to die in defense of that belief. that would, in my opinion, be an honorable death. the bomb-thrower creates secret plots, is afraid to come out into the open, and when caught pays the penalty of misdirected zeal.

to compel the audience to think about the actions of anarchists
to allow room for debate with the other members on stage
to challenge the motivation of the anarchists
to persuade the audience to use nonviolent means for protesting
to acknowledge the anarchists' love and dedication toward their country
