Rhetorical question

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question that has no answer. It is usually used for dramatic effect.

An understatement means representing something as being less important than its true value.

Metaphor is a figure of speech that describes or compares two things in a way that is not literally applicable

Allusion is an indirect reference to someone or something

Parallel structure is using the same pattern of words to show that different ideas are equally important.
