Karen, Bobby’s mother, brought Bobby into the kitchen, pointed to the broken glass and milk on the floor, and asked Bobby, “Isn’t it true, Bobby, that you dropped a glass of milk on the floor?” Bobby’s father, a lawyer, interjected by saying: “Objection!” The basis for this objection is that Karen’s question is ___________.
  1. irrelevant.
  2. hearsay.
  3. compound.
  4. leading.
Explanation
Answer: D - leading. Answer D is correct because Karen’s question suggests its own answer, which is called a leading question. Answer A is not correct because the answer to Karen’s question would have a tendency to prove or disprove a fact in question, so it is relevant. Answer B is not correct because the question does not relate to a statement made at a previous time. Answer C is not correct because a compound question asks more than one question, and Karen’s question only asks about dropping the glass of milk.
