A loaded question is one that contains an assumption that may not be true, which can put the respondent in a difficult position. In the examples you provided, Question #3 is an example of a loaded question because it assumes that the respondent has a preference between two specific works, one of which is described as "beloved" while the other is "less acclaimed." This framing can influence the respondent's answer.
Which of the following is an example of a loaded question? Question #1: Which candidate do you support for city council? Question #2: What is your favorite candy flavor? Question #3: Do you prefer this beloved fantasy series or that less acclaimed mystery novel? (1 point)
