45. 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,

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

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 mortgage 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.
