7 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Rhetorical question Explanation: For the second one, the implication of だろうか (as opposed to just か) is that it's being asked as a semi-rhetorical question that's going to be answered within the context of the passage--or just vaguely wondering a question that can't be answered. ほかの人のみているバラの赤は自分のみている赤と自分のみている赤と同じだろうか Is the red of the rose that other people see the same as the red that you see? (http://www.japet.or.jp/top/essei7.htm) "Has a round shape" is fine for the second one. |
