Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a question where the interlocutor does not intend to receive an answer, but rather to provoke reflection, understanding and reasoning in the listener. In the text shown above, we can see that there is an individual who exposes all the bad things that the "greedy enagnators" did to his friend. This individual then asks what this friend gains by siding with these deceivers, however, the individual does not want an answer, but expects the friend to be able to conclude, through the question, that he is on the side of people who only cause harm.
