When you give someone a requirement or request (i.e., tell them what to do) but deliver it in the form of a question, making it seem like they have a choice.
At the end of the meeting Sam's boss said "You'll send that report to me by 5pm today, right?".
When Sam was getting ready to head home Pat said "You better send that file before you go, if you don't you're going to get in big trouble!"

Ah, I see. So, it appears that you took the deliberate step of meticulously copying the entirety of the text located on the right-hand side.
