Read through the style directions in here and let us know what you discover. My reaction is that rhetorical questions are not forbidden, but read this website to make sure.

Answer 2

before coming here ( jiskha) I did my own search but I did not find anything that said what was allowed in the text only the format. I saw this website as well. I do not remember my teacher saying any thing about questions, but I wanted to be sure

Answer 3

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. And if you answer that question in the course of your paper, all the better!

Answer 4

Okay I think that is what I will do, I will be bringing my paper to the writing lab at my school on Monday so if it is wrong Im sure they will point it out.

Thank you so much
