  3. C
    The director provides unconditional warranties regarding the fleet's condition, while the insurer provides the promise to indemnify against financial loss.
  4. D

Cevap

The correct answer is that the applicant provides the initial premium and representations, while the insurer provides the binding promise to compensate for future losses.
In an insurance contract, consideration refers to the exchange of value. The insured's consideration consists of the premium paid and the representations made in the application. The insurer's consideration is the formal promise to indemnify the insured in the event of a covered loss, which holds value and makes the contract binding upon issuance.
