SECTION 1: LIFE INSURANCE PRODUCTS & POLICY TYPES (Q1–Q20)
Q1. A life insurance policy that provides coverage for a specified period, pays a death benefit only if the
insured dies during the term, and has no cash value component is:
A. Whole life insurance
B. Universal life insurance
C. Term life insurance [CORRECT]
D. Variable life insurance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Term life insurance provides pure death benefit protection for a specified period (e.g., 10, 20,
30 years) without any cash value accumulation. If the insured outlives the term, the policy expires with
no value. Premiums are lower than permanent insurance because there is no savings component.
Q2. A whole life insurance policy that requires premium payments for a limited number of years (e.g., 20
years) but provides lifetime coverage is called:
A. Current assumption whole life
B. Limited-pay whole life [CORRECT]
C. Single premium whole life
D. Modified whole life
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Limited-pay whole life allows the policyowner to pay premiums for a specified limited period
(e.g., 10, 20 years, or to age 65) while maintaining lifetime coverage. Because premiums are paid over a
shorter period, each premium is higher than under a continuous premium whole life policy.
, Q3. In a universal life insurance policy, the two death benefit options are:
A. Level premium and increasing premium
B. Option A (level death benefit) and Option B (increasing death benefit) [CORRECT]
C. Term rider and permanent rider
D. Fixed account and variable account
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Universal life insurance offers two death benefit options: Option A provides a level death
benefit (face amount) with the cash value serving as a reserve; Option B provides a death benefit equal
to the face amount plus the cash value, resulting in an increasing death benefit as cash value grows.
Q4. A variable life insurance policy differs from a whole life policy in that:
A. It has no death benefit
B. The cash value is invested in the insurer's general account
C. The policyowner bears the investment risk for the cash value [CORRECT]
D. Premiums are always lower
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Variable life insurance places the investment risk on the policyowner. The cash value is
invested in separate accounts (similar to mutual funds) chosen by the policyowner, and the cash value
and death benefit fluctuate based on the performance of these underlying investments. This contrasts
with whole life, where the insurer bears investment risk in the general account.
Q5. The policy provision that allows the policyowner to borrow against the cash value of a life insurance
policy is the:
A. Nonforfeiture option
B. Policy loan provision [CORRECT]
C. Automatic premium loan
D. Dividend option
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The policy loan provision allows the policyowner to borrow against the accumulated cash
value of a permanent life insurance policy. The loan is secured by the cash value, accrues interest, and if
unpaid at death, reduces the death benefit. The policyowner is not required to repay the loan during
their lifetime.
