The best example of loaded language in the excerpt from Animal Farm is: "Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own."

Loaded language is language that is emotionally charged and intended to evoke strong feelings in the reader or listener. In this sentence, the phrase "get rid of Man" carries a strong negative connotation and suggests a drastic and radical solution. It portrays humans as the source of all problems and implies that their removal is the key to prosperity and freedom for the animals. This loaded language is used to manipulate the animals' emotions and rally them towards rebellion.

The other options in the excerpt do not contain language that is as emotionally charged or manipulative. The phrase "Almost overnight we could become rich and free" is optimistic but lacks the same level of intensity as the call to "get rid of Man." The questions about the evils of human tyranny and the clarity of the situation are more straightforward and do not carry the same emotional weight.
