Question 24 • HVA 26-27 IM Contemporary World Problems A

What loaded language is used in this passage against the Patriot Act? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“hastily passed 45 days after 9/11 in the name of national security”
B
“expanding the authority to monitor”
C
“spy on ordinary Americans”
D
“turns regular citizens into suspects"
E
“created to catch terrorists”

Explanation

Loaded language uses emotionally charged wording to influence how readers view the Patriot Act. “Hastily passed” suggests the law was rushed, while “spy on ordinary Americans” and “turns regular citizens into suspects” emphasize threatening consequences. “Expanding the authority to monitor” is more neutral, and “created to catch terrorists” frames the law favorably.
