A question that suggests a desired answer, usually asked of hostile witnesses, is a:

  1. Open-ended question

  2. Leading question

  3. Hypothetical question

  4. Close-ended question

The correct answer is: Leading question

A leading question is a question that suggests or prompts the desired answer, making it likely or easier for the person being questioned to answer in a certain way. In comparison, open-ended questions allow for a more expansive and unbiased response, hypothetical questions pose a hypothetical scenario for the person to consider, and closed-ended questions typically only require a simple yes or no answer. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they do not specifically refer to the tactic of prompting a desired answer from a witness.
