Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A leading question is a question that encourages a particular desired answer, often because of the way that the question is phrased. In most cases, leading questions are carefully phrased in order to manipulate the person to provide the interviewer with a more in-depth or desirable answer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Leading questions are survey questions that encourage or guide the respondent towards a desired answer. They are often framed in a particular way to elicit responses that confirm preconceived notions, and are favorable to the surveyor – even though this may ultimately sway or tamper with the survey data.

Detailed explanation-3: -A leading question suggests a particular answer that the questioner desires – most often a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. ∎ “Were you in Los Angeles last week?” ∎ You were in Los Angeles last week, weren’t you? ∎ You didn’t see the stop sign, did you?
