He arrives with business cards, sample policies from Assured, and an Assured rate book. He recommends Assured policies that can meet Mary's needs for insurance. Which of the following terms describes the kind of
authority that Bob has in this situation? C Apparent authority arises from the reasonable assumptions that a third party, such as an insurance prospect, makes on the basis of the actions or statements of the principal. By providing its agent with business cards, sample policies, and rate books, Assured gives a prospect the impression that it supports Bob's statements and deeds with respect to his insurance transactions.

provision sets forth the insurer's basic promise to pay benefits upon the insured's death? B An agent in the XYZ Insurance Company, equipped with business cards, sample XYZ policies, and an XYZ rate book, informs a prospect that XYZ has given him unlimited binding authority. The
prospect assumes this is true. Given the prospect's assumption, which of the following terms correctly defines the agent's authority in this case? D Apparent authority is what a third party (such as a member of the public) assumes an agent has, on the basis of the actions or words of the principal. By supplying the agent with business cards, sample policies, and rate books, the insurance company has given the impression that it supports the words and actions of its agent. 3.3.3.

Which of the following is the legal principle that allows a court to order an insurer to provide coverage not explicitly provided for in the
contract? Adhesion An insurance contract is a contract of adhesion. The insurer writes the contract and the insured adheres to it as the contract has been written.
