Why: Section 27-602(c)(5) permits midterm cancellation only for material misrepresentation/fraud, a threat to public safety, an increase in the hazard insured against, nonpayment, or arson (homeowner's) — therefore the increased hazard.

  2. Delivering the policy form required to be given to the insured

Under MD Ins. § 27-202, using a policy name or title in a way that misrepresents the policy's true nature is:

  1. Permitted if the wording was cleared by the producer
  2. A prohibited misrepresentation about the policy ✓
  3. Allowed only for group life and annuity contracts
  4. Required whenever a class of policies is renamed

Why: Section 27-202(4) prohibits using a name or title of a policy or class that misrepresents its true nature — therefore it is a prohibited misrepresentation.

An insurer settles a claim using an application it altered without telling the insured. Under MD Ins. § 27-303, this is:

  1. An unfair claim settlement practice ✓
  2. Allowed if the alteration favored the insured
  3. Permitted as an internal underwriting correction
  4. A billing adjustment outside the subtitle

Why: Section 27-303(3) makes it a violation to attempt to settle a claim based on an application altered without notice to, or the knowledge or consent of, the insured — therefore the keyed answer.

  3. attorneys admitted in Maryland

  1. An authorized domestic property insurer
  2. A surplus lines or unauthorized insurer ✓
  3. A licensed foreign casualty insurer
  4. A member insurer's Maryland branch

Why: Section 9-303 excludes surplus lines insurance, risk retention group insurance, and insurance written by an unauthorized insurer — therefore the keyed answer.

  1. Because benefits are capped by the policy's aggregate limit
  2. Because the benefit amounts are set by the state's WC statute ✓
  3. Because the insurer can choose how much to pay

  2. It requires intent to harm
  3. Fault need not be proven; liability attaches due to the nature of the activity ✓

  2. A monoline policy includes all coverage parts unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force

Why: In a package, two or more coverage parts attach to common declarations and common conditions; a single coverage part written alone is monoline.

  1. Vacant
  2. Unoccupied ✓
  3. Abandoned
  4. Under construction

  1. the home address of the affected licensee ✓
  2. its effective date
  3. the grounds on which it is based

  1. A condominium unit
  2. A rented apartment
  3. An older home whose replacement cost greatly exceeds its market value ✓
  4. A brand new luxury home unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force

  1. Like insuring or risk characteristics ✓
  2. Policies placed through different licensed producers
  3. Coverage bound in two separate calendar quarters
