SECTION 1: GENERAL INSURANCE PRINCIPLES (Questions 1-22)
Q1: What is the term for a contract in which only one party (the insurer) is legally bound
to fulfill its obligations?
A. Aleatory contract
B. Unilateral contract
C. Conditional contract
D. Contract of adhesion
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A unilateral contract is one where only one party (the insurer) makes a legally
enforceable promise. While the insured pays premiums, they are not legally bound to
continue paying; however, the insurer is legally bound to pay the claim if conditions are
met. An aleatory contract (A) involves an unequal exchange of values (small premium
vs. large potential benefit). A conditional contract (C) requires certain conditions to be
,met before the insurer pays. A contract of adhesion (D) is prepared by one party and
presented on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
(Topic: General Principles | Difficulty: Easy)
Q2: Which characteristic of an ideally insurable risk requires that the loss must be
definite and measurable?
A. Loss due to chance
B. Definite and measurable loss
C. Statistically predictable
D. Not catastrophic
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The "definite and measurable" requirement means the loss must be definite
as to time, place, and amount, allowing the insurer to determine if a payable loss
occurred and calculate the benefit amount. Loss due to chance (A) means the loss
must be fortuitous (accidental). Statistically predictable (C) allows insurers to estimate
premiums using the law of large numbers. Not catastrophic (D) means the loss must
not affect a large number of insureds simultaneously.
(Topic: General Principles | Difficulty: Easy)
Q3: The Law of Large Numbers is the foundation of which insurance principle?
A. Risk retention
B. Risk avoidance
,C. Insurance pricing and predictability
D. Risk reduction
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of exposure units
(insureds) increases, the actual loss experience will more closely approach the
expected loss experience. This mathematical certainty allows insurers to predict losses
and set appropriate premium rates. Risk retention (A), avoidance (B), and reduction (D)
are methods of handling risk, not pricing principles.
(Topic: General Principles | Difficulty: Easy)
Q4: Which type of insurer is owned by its policyholders and may pay dividends to those
policyholders?
A. Stock insurer
B. Mutual insurer
C. Reciprocal insurer
D. Fraternal benefit society
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A mutual insurer is owned by its policyholders (members), who may receive
dividends (return of excess premiums) when the company performs well. Stock insurers
(A) are owned by stockholders who receive dividends. Reciprocal insurers (C) are
unincorporated associations where subscribers exchange insurance. Fraternal benefit
, societies (D) are nonprofit organizations with social/religious affiliations that provide
insurance to members.
(Topic: General Principles | Difficulty: Easy)
Q5: What is the primary difference between a domestic insurer and a foreign insurer?
A. Domestic insurers are larger than foreign insurers
B. Domestic insurers are chartered in the state where they operate; foreign insurers are
chartered in another state
C. Domestic insurers only write life insurance; foreign insurers write all lines
D. Domestic insurers are government-owned; foreign insurers are privately owned
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A domestic insurer is chartered in the state where it operates. A foreign
insurer is chartered in another state but authorized to operate in the state in question.
An alien insurer is chartered in a foreign country. Size (A), lines of insurance (C), and
ownership (D) do not determine domestic vs. foreign status—only the state of
incorporation matters.
(Topic: General Principles | Difficulty: Easy)
Q6: Which method of handling risk involves transferring the financial consequences of a
loss to another party?
A. Risk retention
B. Risk avoidance
