What is the author’s purpose for using rhetorical questions in Passage 2, Paragraph 1?


to consider different positions on the topic of green schools


to question whether or not it’s possible to live green


to encourage readers to consider those questions in their own lives


to demand answers from the readers on their own schools’ practices

The correct answer is: to encourage readers to consider those questions in their own lives. The author uses rhetorical questions to engage the readers and prompt them to think about the topic of green schools and how it relates to their own lives. The questions are not posed to demand answers, but rather to stimulate thought and reflection.
