Sample questions

Three questions from the Property Insurance Types bank with the correct answer and an explanation. The practice quiz above draws 30 questions at random from the same bank.

  1. Which standard homeowners form insures the dwelling on an open-peril (special) basis while covering personal property on a named-peril basis, making it the most widely purchased owner-occupied form?

    • HO-3 Special Form — Correct answer
    • HO-2 Broad Form
    • HO-4 Contents (Tenant's) Form
    • HO-8 Modified Coverage Form

    Explanation: The HO-3 covers the dwelling and other structures against all risks of direct physical loss except those excluded (open peril), but limits personal property to named perils only. This split is why it is the standard choice for most homeowners. (ISO standard homeowners policy)

  2. A tenant who rents an apartment wants coverage for personal belongings and personal liability but not for the building itself. Which homeowners form is designed for this need?

    • HO-4 Contents (Tenant's) Form — Correct answer
    • HO-3 Special Form
    • HO-6 Unit-owner's Form
    • HO-8 Modified Coverage Form

    Explanation: The HO-4 is the tenant form: it covers the renter's personal property and personal liability but provides no Coverage A for the dwelling, because the landlord insures the building. (ISO standard homeowners policy)

  3. Which homeowners form is tailored to the owner of a condominium unit, reflecting that the condo association's master policy insures the building structure?

    • HO-6 Unit-owner's Form — Correct answer
    • HO-4 Contents (Tenant's) Form
    • HO-2 Broad Form
    • HO-5 Comprehensive Form

    Explanation: The HO-6 is written for a condominium unit-owner; it focuses on personal property, interior improvements the unit-owner is responsible for, and personal liability, because the association's master policy covers the building shell. (ISO standard homeowners policy)
