Caricature a distortion of characteristics or defects of a person or thing, either in a picture or in words Caricature came from www.google.com images.

Leading question A question worded to suggest the desired response What do you think of the horrible effects of homework? What makes you think you can cheat on your homework? Why do you like to waste money? Why did you commit the crime?
