Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question is considered a double-barreled question because it asks about two different issues (driving under the influence of alcohol and driving while high on marijuana) in one question, making it difficult for the respondent to answer if they have only done one or neither. It is also a leading premise question because it assumes that the respondent has driven under the influence of alcohol or marijuana, which may not be the case for all respondents.
