Read the passage from John F. Kennedy’s “Speech at American University.”

All this is not unrelated to world peace. “When a man’s ways please the Lord,” the Scriptures tell us, “he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights—the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation—the right to breathe air as nature provided it—the right of future generations to a healthy existence?

What does President Kennedy seek to achieve by using a rhetorical question to support his argument?

Speech at American University

He wants his audience to consider that peace can be effective only if the government enforces human rights.
He wants his audience to consider that the essential nature of peace revolves around basic human rights.
He wants his audience to consider that peace is accomplished only when a nation eliminates all enemies.
He wants his audience to consider that a peaceful nation should protect its own national interests.
