Q1. Which of the following best describes the concept of
insurable interest in life insurance?
A) The policyowner must have a financial interest in the continued
life of the insured
B) The insured must have an interest in the policyowner's financial
well-being
C) The beneficiary must have a familial relationship with the
insured
D) The insurer must have an interest in the policy's performance
Answer: A
Rationale: Insurable interest requires that the policyowner would

suffer a financial loss upon the death of the insured. This exists
between family members, business partners, and
creditors/debtors. Insurable interest must exist at the time of
policy application.

an insurance applicant is required to:
A) Pay premiums on time
B) Disclose all material facts that could affect the insurer's
decision

Answer: B
Rationale: The principle of utmost good faith requires both
parties to act honestly and disclose all material facts. The

applicant must disclose any information that could affect the
insurer's decision to issue coverage or determine premium rates.
Q3. Which of the following is considered a material
misrepresentation in an insurance application?
A) Stating age as 45 when actual age is 47
B) Failing to disclose a minor traffic violation
C) Listing a beneficiary who is not a family member
D) Choosing a lower coverage amount than recommended
Answer: A
Rationale: A material misrepresentation is a false statement that
could affect the insurer's underwriting decision. Age affects
premium calculations and insurability. Minor traffic violations that
do not affect risk assessment are typically not material.
