Some factory owners accused Sadler of being biased by asking leading questions. What question from this testimony might lend support to that claim?

A leading question suggests the answer the questioner expects. “Were the children excessively fatigued at that time?” uses the loaded word “excessively,” which can steer the witness toward agreeing that the children were very tired. The other questions ask for basic information or a reason without suggesting a particular answer.
