Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A single property policy separately insures MachineX and MachineY. The insured sells only X without a corresponding transfer of insurance.

  1. A change of interest in X does not avoid insurance on separately insured Y
  2. Sale of any item necessarily avoids every separately insured item
  3. The insured must own X forever to recover on Y
  4. The policy is automatically transformed into life insurance
  5. Section22 concerns only changes after the loss
