D) The insured can return the policy for a full refund within 30
days.
Answer: C. The policy is drafted by the insurer, leaving the
insured little or no opportunity to negotiate terms.
Explanation: A contract of adhesion is one written by one
party (the insurer) with no negotiation from the other party
(the insured). Any ambiguous language is interpreted in favor
of the insured.
2. Which of the following best describes the principle of
"insurable interest"?
A) The insurer's right to recover from a third party after paying a
loss.
B) The insured must have a financial or emotional interest in
the subject of the insurance, such that they would suffer a
loss if it were damaged or destroyed.
C) The requirement that the insured pay premiums on time.
D) The insurer's promise to restore the insured to their original
financial position after a loss.
Answer: B. The insured must have a financial or emotional
interest in the subject of the insurance, such that they would
suffer a loss if it were damaged or destroyed.
Explanation: Insurable interest is a fundamental insurance
principle. Without it, the contract would be gambling. In life
insurance, insurable interest must exist at the time of policy
issuance; in property and casualty, it must exist at the time
of loss.

3. Under the principle of "indemnity," an insurance contract
is designed to:
A) Allow the insured to profit from a loss.
B) Transfer all risk from the insured to the insurer.
C) Restore the insured to the same financial condition they
were in immediately before the loss.
D) Guarantee that the insured will never suffer a loss.
Answer: C. Restore the insured to the same financial
condition they were in immediately before the loss.
Explanation: Indemnity prevents the insured from making a
profit from a claim. The goal of indemnity is to make the
insured whole, not better off.
4. A "hazard" is defined as:
A) The cause of a potential loss (e.g., fire, theft).
B) A condition that increases the probability or severity of a
loss.
C) The uncertainty of financial loss.
D) The dollar amount of a covered loss.
Answer: B. A condition that increases the probability or
severity of a loss.
Explanation: A hazard is something that creates or increases
the chance of a loss. Physical hazards (e.g., icy roads), moral
hazards (dishonesty), and morale hazards (carelessness) are
all examples.

5. A "peril" is best defined as:
A) A condition that increases the chance of a loss.
B) The cause of a potential loss (e.g., fire, windstorm, theft).
C) The insured's attitude toward risk.
D) The insurer's financial reserve.
Answer: B. The cause of a potential loss (e.g., fire,
windstorm, theft).
Explanation: Perils are the events that cause loss, such as
fire, theft, or a car accident. Named-peril policies only cover
perils listed; open-peril policies cover all perils except those
specifically excluded.
6. What is the purpose of a deductible in an insurance
policy?
A) To increase the insurer's risk.
B) To eliminate small claims and reduce the cost of
insurance.
C) To guarantee the insured will receive full replacement cost.
D) To transfer risk to a reinsurer.
Answer: B. To eliminate small claims and reduce the cost of
insurance.
Explanation: A deductible is the amount the insured must
pay out-of-pocket before the insurer pays. It reduces moral
hazard and administrative costs, lowering the premium for
the insured.
