A client is seeking a life insurance policy that
provides coverage for a specific, defined period, such
as 20 years, after which the coverage terminates.
Which type of policy is most appropriate for this
client's needs?
a. Whole life
b. Term life
c. Universal life
d. Variable life
CORRECT ANS: b
EXPERT RATIONALE
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific
period (the "term"), such as 10, 20, or 30 years. It
pays a death benefit only if the insured dies within
that term. It is generally the most affordable type of
life insurance because it does not build cash value.
Whole life (a), universal life (c), and variable life (d)
are all forms of permanent life insurance that
,provide lifelong coverage and include a cash value
component.

Which feature of a universal life insurance policy
allows the policyholder to adjust premiums and
modify the death benefit as their financial needs
change?
a. Cash value accumulation
b. Flexibility feature
c. Fixed premium structure
d. Beneficiary clause
CORRECT ANS: b
EXPERT RATIONALE
Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life
insurance that offers significant flexibility. The
"flexibility feature" allows the policyholder to adjust
, the amount and timing of premium payments
(within limits) and to increase or decrease the death
benefit, subject to underwriting. This distinguishes it
from whole life, which has fixed premiums. Cash
value (a) is a component of the policy, not the
feature allowing flexibility. Fixed premiums (c) are
characteristic of whole life. The beneficiary clause
(d) designates who receives the death benefit.
