Question 1
What is the primary purpose of insurance?
A) To eliminate all risk
B) To transfer risk from an individual to a group
C) To guarantee investment returns
D) To provide tax-free income
Answer: B
Explanation: Insurance is a mechanism for transferring risk from an
individual or business to an insurance company, which pools risks across
many policyholders. Insurance does not eliminate risk but rather
redistributes the financial consequences of loss. The fundamental
purpose is risk transfer, not risk elimination, investment, or tax
avoidance.

The Law of Large Numbers is fundamental to insurance because it:
A) Guarantees that every policyholder will file a claim
B) Allows insurers to predict losses more accurately as the number of
insureds increases
C) Ensures that premiums are always affordable
D) Eliminates the need for underwriting
Answer: B
Explanation: The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of
exposure units increases, the more accurately the insurer can predict
future losses. This statistical principle allows insurers to set premiums
that are adequate and fair. It does not guarantee claims, ensure
affordability, or eliminate underwriting.

continuation of the insured's life.
Question 4
Which of the following is NOT an element of a legal contract?
A) Offer and acceptance
B) Consideration
C) Competent parties
D) Warranty of merchantability
Answer: D
Explanation: The four essential elements of a valid contract are offer
and acceptance, consideration, competent parties, and legal purpose.
Warranty of merchantability is a concept from the Uniform Commercial
Code that applies to the sale of goods, not to insurance contracts.
Question 5
In an insurance contract, consideration is defined as:
A) The policy's face amount
B) The promise to pay premiums and the insurer's promise to pay
claims
C) The insured's medical history
D) The agent's commission

Answer: B
Explanation: Consideration in an insurance contract is the exchange of
value between the parties. The insured gives the premium payment and
the statements made in the application; the insurer gives the promise to
pay benefits upon the occurrence of a covered loss. It is not the face
amount, medical history, or commission.
Question 6
Insurance contracts are considered contracts of adhesion because:
A) One party drafts the contract and the other party has little or no
ability to negotiate its terms
B) Both parties have equal bargaining power
C) The contract is written in plain language
D) The contract is enforceable only in court
Answer: A
Explanation: Adhesion contracts are drafted by the insurer and
presented to the insured on a "take it or leave it" basis. Because of this
unequal bargaining power, any ambiguities in the contract are
interpreted in favor of the insured under the doctrine of contra
proferentem.
