Fewer families lose their houses because of major disasters such as fire or flood than because of a wage earner's illness that results in death or disability. Yet, whereas most mortgage companies require borrowers to carry insurance to protect against major disasters, they do not require insurance to protect against the death or disability of a wage earner.
Which of the following, if true, would contribute most to an explanation of the difference in insurance requirements?
题目来自11th Edition的GMAT OG,第480页45题 Fewer families lose their housed because of major disasters such as fire or flood than because of a wage earner's illness that results in death or disability. Yet, whereas most mortagage companies require borrowers to carry insurance to protect against major disasters, they do not require insurance to protect against the death or disability of a wage earner.
Which of the following, if true, would contribute most to an explanation of the difference in insurance requirements? (A) Some people are less aware of tragedies caused by major disasters than of those caused by the death or disability of a wage earner. (B) Many people are made uncomfortable by having to consider the possibility of their own death or disability or that of a family member. (C) Few wage earners are insured by their employers against a temporary loss of income resulting from disability. (D) The value of a property to a mortagage company is not affected by the death or disability of a wage earner. (E) Insuring against major disasters can be more costly than insuring against death or disability.
答案应该是D,但是E为什么不可以呢? OG的答案里面提到说,insurance against major disasters can make mortagage companies protect their investment in collateral peoperties, 但是insurance against the death or disability will not affect the value of the property of the mortagage company. 迷茫ing。。。题目和答案选项哪里看的出来insurance against major disasters需要collateral property而insurance against the death or disability不需要啊? 以及E选项里面,如果insurance against major disasters is more costly,那对mortagage company来说就可以多赚一些保费啊,不也可以选吗???
