Rhetorical questions carry the purpose of persuasion, which you obviously don't need in a research paper, where everything is based on fact. This usually applies in the case of discursive essays, or narrations. Plus, an audience listening to a research paper will probably only be interested in the information strictly, and will be irritated by rhetorical questions.

A research paper is fact and nothing but the fact. A research paper is just giving information about a topic. However, rhetorical questions are used to persuade the reader to believe or agree with something, mainly in a discursive essay; but in a research paper, you aren't persuading, you are educating.

What was your reaction when you read the first line of The Nickel Boys? For reference, the line is "Elwood received the best gif
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Find the answers and explanations below.

Explanation:

1. The aspects of the line that inspire interest in Elwood include

a. The best gift of his life. One wonders what the best gift could be and its importance to him.

b. ...even if the ideas it put into his head were his undoing. The reader might also wonder what the ideas were and why it would cause Elwood's undoing.

2. Mysterious things are unknown and hard to explain. The best gift of his life is mysterious because the reader has no idea of what that gift could be because not much is known about the protagonist. The ideas in his head which would cause his undoing are also mysterious.

3. The phrase I would want to be explained to me is; The best gift of his life. When I know what that gift is, it would help me understand the personality of Elwood and why he had ideas in his head on receiving the gift.

4. The author can explain it further because he knows the qualities of the characters involved in the story.

5. One possibility could be that the gift has a major significance in the story.

Another possibility could be that the gift promoted an ideology that the protagonist holds dear.

The use of the phrase might have also been to whet the reader's interest in the story.

6. I think that the last reason is most likely. Seeing that the reader is not yet acquainted with the character, the mystery surrounding the best gift would make him wonder what that gift was. He would also want to find out by reading more of the story.
