Sample questions

Three questions from the Contract Law & Policy Provisions bank with the correct answer and an explanation. The practice quiz above draws 30 questions at random from the same bank.

  1. Which of the following is one of the four elements required for a legally valid contract?

    • Competent parties — Correct answer
    • A signed application photograph
    • A minimum three-day waiting period
    • Notarization by a public official

    Explanation: Every valid contract needs four elements: competent parties, legal purpose, offer and acceptance, and consideration. Photographs, waiting periods, and notarization are not among them. (Contract law principle)

  2. The requirement of "competent parties" means that each party to the contract must:

    • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement — Correct answer
    • Hold an active insurance producer license
    • Be a resident of the same state as the insurer
    • Have never filed a previous insurance claim

    Explanation: Competent parties are those with the legal capacity to contract — of legal age and sound mind, and not disqualified. Licensing, residency, and claim history are unrelated to legal capacity. (Contract law principle)

  3. An insurance contract written to cover the profits a person expects from smuggling illegal goods would be unenforceable because it lacks which element?

    • Legal purpose — Correct answer
    • Offer and acceptance
    • Consideration
    • Competent parties

    Explanation: A contract must have a legal purpose; an agreement formed to protect or promote an illegal act is void from the start. Offer, consideration, and party capacity could all exist yet the contract still fails for illegality. (Contract law principle)
