  1. 1A contractor finishes installing a handrail and leaves the customer's building. A week later, the rail detaches and injures a visitor. Which CGL exposure best describes the contractor's liability?

    1. A. Premises and ongoing operations exposure
    2. B. Products and completed operations exposure
    3. C. Personal and advertising injury exposure
    4. D. Medical payments without liability exposure

    Answer: B

    Explanation: The California insurance guide states, "Completed operations covers your potential liability for bodily injury or property damage that arises out of your completed work." The installation was finished before the injury. Premises/operations concerns work in progress; the other options describe different coverage categories.

    Reference: California Department of Insurance, Commercial Insurance Guide — Commercial General Liability—Coverage

  2. 2A risk assessor reviews four loss exposures. Which one best illustrates a morale hazard, rather than intentional dishonesty or a physical condition?

    1. A. An applicant deliberately conceals prior losses
    2. B. A manager carelessly skips routine safety checks
    3. C. A stairway has a loose and damaged handrail
    4. D. A stockroom contains a leaking solvent drum

    Answer: B

    Explanation: NAIC defines "Morale Hazard" as "negligence or disregard on the part of the insured which could lead to probable loss." The manager's carelessness fits. Deliberate concealment is a moral issue; the handrail and solvent are physical conditions.

    Reference: NAIC, Glossary of Insurance Terms — Glossary—Moral Hazard and Morale Hazard

  3. 3A producer needs to confirm a client's policy effective date, liability limit, and deductible before discussing a loss. Which policy section ordinarily lists those particulars?

    1. A. The insuring agreement
    2. B. The policy conditions
    3. C. The declarations page
    4. D. The exclusions section

    Answer: C

    Explanation: The insurance guide says the declarations page contains "effective and expiration dates, premium payable, the amount and types of coverage, and the deductibles." These are the particulars the producer needs. The other sections state the coverage promise, duties, or limitations.

    Reference: California Department of Insurance, Commercial Insurance Guide — Glossary—Declarations (DEC) Page

  4. 4Who appoints the Colorado Commissioner of Insurance, and what confirmation is required?

    1. A. The governor appoints the commissioner with Senate consent
    2. B. The General Assembly elects the commissioner without confirmation
    3. C. The attorney general appoints the commissioner with House consent
    4. D. Colorado voters elect the commissioner statewide

    Answer: A

    Explanation: C.R.S. § 10-1-104(1) makes the commissioner the division head and states that the commissioner is "appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, the governor, subject to confirmation of the appointment by the senate."

    Reference: Crs2026 Title 10 — C.R.S. § 10-1-104(1)

  5. 5Which three standards govern insurance rates under Colorado's property-and-casualty rating law?

    1. A. Uniform, guaranteed, and refundable
    2. B. Not excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory
    3. C. Identical, prepaid, and noncancelable
    4. D. Federal, municipal, and county-approved

    Answer: B

    Explanation: C.R.S. § 10-4-403(1) provides: "Rates shall not be excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory."

    Reference: Crs2026 Title 10 — C.R.S. § 10-4-403(1)

  6. 6A homeowner employs a domestic worker in the private home for 40 hours each week. Does the usual private-home domestic worker exclusion apply?

    1. A. Yes, because every worker performing domestic work at a private home is excluded
    2. B. Yes, unless the domestic worker owns at least ten percent of the employer's corporation
    3. C. No; the statute does not apply that exclusion to a worker employed full-time as defined
    4. D. No, but only if the worker is employed fewer than forty hours and fewer than five days weekly

    Answer: C

    Explanation: C.R.S. § 8-40-302(4) defines full-time work and says it "means work performed for forty hours or more a week or on five days or more a week."

    Reference: Crs2026 Title 08 — C.R.S. § 8-40-302(4)

  7. 7A claims-made liability policy runs from January 1 through December 31, 2026, with a retroactive date of January 1, 2025. A claim is first made in July 2026. Assuming all other terms are met, what is the earliest occurrence date that can qualify under these timing terms?

    1. A. January 1, 2024
    2. B. July 1, 2024
    3. C. January 1, 2025
    4. D. July 1, 2025

    Answer: C

    Explanation: The guide defines claims-made coverage as applying to claims filed during the policy period "subject to a retroactive inception date." A July 2026 claim satisfies the claim timing; January 1, 2025 is the earliest qualifying occurrence date. The 2024 dates precede the retroactive date, and July 2025 is later than the earliest eligible date.

    Reference: California Department of Insurance, Commercial Insurance Guide — Glossary—Claims Made

  8. 8A producer is separating pure risks from opportunities that may also generate a gain. Which exposure is a pure risk?

    1. A. A warehouse may suffer a fire loss or no fire loss
    2. B. A share purchase may appreciate or depreciate
    3. C. A commodity position may profit or lose value
    4. D. A new retail venture may earn or lose money

    Answer: A

    Explanation: NAIC defines "Pure Risk" as a circumstance with "possibility of loss or no loss but no possibility of gain." Fire damage fits that structure. The investment, commodity, and venture outcomes each can produce a gain as well as a loss.

    Reference: NAIC, Glossary of Insurance Terms — Glossary—Pure Risk

  9. 9A liability policy's insuring agreement promises damages because of bodily injury caused by an occurrence during the policy period. A visitor alleges the insured's negligent maintenance caused an accidental injury during that period and seeks damages. Before considering exclusions and conditions, how should the producer treat the claim under the stated grant?

    1. A. It passes the initial bodily-injury coverage grant
    2. B. It is automatically payable without further review
    3. C. It is excluded because the visitor was not insured
    4. D. It is confined to property-damage coverage only

    Answer: A

    Explanation: The guide calls the insuring agreement "The portion of an insurance contract that describes what is covered." The alleged liability for accidental bodily injury during the policy period fits the stated initial grant. Conditions and exclusions still require review; a third-party claimant need not be the named insured, and property damage is a different loss.

    Reference: California Department of Insurance, Commercial Insurance Guide — Glossary—Insuring Agreement

  10. 10Which qualification is expressly required of the Colorado Commissioner of Insurance?

    1. A. Ten years as a Colorado-licensed producer
    2. B. Being a Colorado elector who is well versed in insurance
    3. C. Membership in the state bar
    4. D. Prior service as a deputy commissioner

    Answer: B

    Explanation: C.R.S. § 10-1-104(1) states: "The commissioner shall be a person well versed in insurance, and an elector of the state of Colorado."

    Reference: Crs2026 Title 10 — C.R.S. § 10-1-104(2)
