The correct matches are: Guaranteeing an alarm is a Warranty; Answering 'no' based on honest belief is a Representation; Failing to mention the home business is Concealment; Lying about age/smoking is a Material Misrepresentation.
Each scenario perfectly illustrates a specific legal doctrine in insurance underwriting: warranties are strict guarantees, representations are honest beliefs, concealment is hiding facts, and material misrepresentation is actively lying about important facts.
