Maybe give some free advice about: School?
"Loaded Question – a question that carries an assumption, and is worded in such a way so that the respondent who answers the question directly admits to accepting that assumption.
EXAMPLE 1
An attorney asks: “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
The two questions in this example really are, “Have you ever beat your wife?” and “If so, have you stopped?” Loaded questions usually demand a “yes” or “no” response. Yet, no matter how this man answers, he gets himself in trouble: “yes” implies that he used to beat her but have recently stopped; “no” implies that he has not stopped beating her, as usual. Trial lawyers can be quite good at phrasing loaded questions, causing the other side to object to the slanted diction and inherent implications."

Don't know if that makes it any clearer for you, but every definition I looked up was worded equally as confusing as the next. :/
