Which of the following involves words that are biased in favor or against a particular subject?

Loaded words
Post hoc fallacy
Amphiboly
Deductive reasoning

The correct answer is: Loaded words

Loaded words involve words that carry a strong emotional connotation or bias towards a particular subject. When these words are used in a statement or argument, they can manipulate the reader or listener into forming a specific opinion without considering all the facts objectively. This makes them a powerful tool for persuasion but can also be deceptive. In contrast, the other options (B. Post hoc fallacy, C. Amphiboly, and D. Deductive reasoning) do not inherently involve words that are biased or slanted towards a particular subject like loaded words do.
