If it’s like a painfully obvious answer it’s more likely to be rhetorical I think, but then if it isn’t rhetorical you just look like an ass for not answering, so I guess gamble wisely

i js answer all of em, unless it’s in class, in which i sneakily look around. but the best way to tell is waiting a few seconds to see if they stopped talking (waiting for you to respond?) or keep going (prob was rhetorical!)
