Answer 1

A loaded question is that which has more meaning which is directly said. If the parent ask their child that where was he last night?. on paper this is a simple question. A loaded question asks more than is directly said, making it "loaded."

A leading question is the one which allows us to ask another question, thereby leading a follow up.

It is Almost like a trap like - "Do you have any plans tonight?" "No." "Well then will you like to grab dinner." Here if we ask if they wanted to go to dinner but you asked if they were available first. Making it a leading question.
