**2. Which of the following is NOT an essential element of a legally enforceable
contract?**
A) Offer
B) Acceptance
C) Consideration
D) Marketing brochure
**Correct Answer: D**
**Rationale:** The four essential elements of a legal contract are offer,
acceptance, consideration, and mutual assent between competent parties for a legal
purpose. A marketing brochure is promotional material and is not required for
contract formation.
---
**3. An insurance contract is described as a contract of adhesion because:**
A) Both parties negotiate terms equally
B) The insurer can alter the policy at any time
C) The insured must accept the contract as-is or reject it
D) It requires consideration from both parties
**Correct Answer: C**
,3|Page
**Rationale:** A contract of adhesion is a "take-it-or-leave-it" agreement where
the insured has little or no ability to negotiate the terms. The insurer drafts the
policy, and the insured must accept it as written or seek coverage elsewhere.
---
**4. The aleatory nature of insurance means that:**
A) The insurer and insured exchange equal value at inception
B) The loss occurrence is uncertain and may result in unequal exchange of value
C) The policy premium is always refundable
D) Coverage is mandatory for all risks
**Correct Answer: B**
**Rationale:** Aleatory contracts involve an uncertain event that may cause an
unequal exchange of value. The insured pays a relatively small premium, but if a
loss occurs, the insurer may pay a large sum. This is characteristic of insurance
contracts.
---
**5. Which statement best describes a unilateral contract in insurance?**
A) Both parties are bound to perform simultaneously
B) Only the insurer is obligated to pay when a covered loss occurs
C) The insured must perform a service for the insurer
D) Both parties can terminate at any time without notice
, 4|Page
**Correct Answer: B**
**Rationale:** In a unilateral contract, only one party (the insurer) makes a legally
enforceable promise—to pay benefits upon the occurrence of a covered loss. The
insured is not legally obligated to pay premiums (though failure to pay results in
policy lapse), making the contract unilateral.
---
**6. The principle of indemnity is intended to:**
A) Provide the insured with a profit on loss
B) Restore the insured to the financial position before the loss
C) Cover punitive damages
D) Pay for future upgrades to the property
**Correct Answer: B**
**Rationale:** The principle of indemnity aims to make the insured whole—
returning them to the same financial position they were in before the loss. The
insured should not profit from an insurance claim.
---
**7. Actual Cash Value (ACV) is defined as:**
A) Full replacement cost at current prices
