Double negatives.
Asking two questions in
one double-barreled.
Emotive language.

Two Tips
Make

sure the answers are mutually


exclusive:

answer, when more than one can be true
at the same time e.g. Are you a student, or
do you work?

Ensure

the answers are exhaustive:

All potential answers are included.
