Rhetorical question’s purpose is to persuade or ingeniously exert influence in the audience. On the other hand, rhetorical questions are not intended to be answered per se. In the case of this argument, the correct option is (A. It forces the readers to decide for themselves between money and children).

For instance the first rhetorical question “Do we want to risk our children’s health for the sake of few thousand dollars?” appeals to the awareness related to children’s protection and how dangerous ComCorp cell tower might be if it is built close to the school. On the other hand, the rhetorical question,”Aren't our children worth more than that?” implies that children are far more important than money and in both cases the reader is exposed to make a moral decision.
