In the sports section of the local newspaper, a reporter wrote, "Lorton's experienced quarterback performed well in handling Jefferson High's Eagles a crushing defeat." Which word in this sentence is considered loaded?
a. Experienced
b. Defeat
c. Well
d. Crushing

Answer :

A loaded word is a word that not only informs but also caries some emotion with it, such as condemning, exciting, praising.
In the statement above the loaded word is "crushing" - it makes a qualitative statement about the defeat: it was a very definite defeat.
