What is the problem with this stem of the question ?

"Do you think physical fitness activities and Yoga should be included in secondary school curriculum ?"

  • A.A leading question is used in this stem
  • B.A loaded question is used in this stem
  • C.Double barreled question is used in the stem
  • D.There is no problem with the stem

Answer: C

The stem is a double-barreled question.

A double-barreled question asks about two things at once but allows only one answer. Here the respondent is asked whether 'physical fitness activities and Yoga' should be included. Someone who favours fitness activities but not Yoga, or the reverse, cannot answer accurately, so the response cannot be interpreted.

A leading question pushes the respondent towards a particular answer, and a loaded question contains an unjustified assumption or emotionally charged wording. The stem does neither, but it does have a problem, so 'no problem' is wrong.
