Answer:

using a rhetorical question

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhetorical question is styled to make an effect or to lay emphasis on some point and not in a need for real answer. In literature, it is used as an impressive persuasive device. For example, if someone asks " who is better than me" not to get an answer but to enforce that he is the best. In the above-mentioned question, Faith posed this question as a taunt to her classmate and not to obtain an answer.
