Stated another way, an HDC can normally [blank_start]acquire[blank_end] a higher level of [blank_start]immunity[blank_end] than can an [blank_start]ordinary[blank_end] holder in regard to defenses against payment [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument or ownership claims [blank_start]to[blank_end] the instrument by other parties.

A purchaser has notice that a demand instrument is overdue if he or she either takes the instrument knowing that demand has been [blank_start]made[blank_end] or takes the instrument an [blank_start]unreasonable[blank_end] length of time after its [blank_start]date[blank_end]. For a check, a "[blank_start]reasonable[blank_end] time" is [blank_start]ninety[blank_end] [blank_start]days[blank_end] after the date of the check. For all other demand instruments, what will be considered a [blank_start]reasonable[blank_end] time depends on the circumstances [...].
Answer
  • time
  • made
  • unreasonable
  • date
  • reasonable
  • ninety
  • days
  • reasonable

Question 62

Question
Normally, a time instrument is [blank_start]overdue[blank_end] [blank_start]on[blank_end] the day after its [blank_start]due[blank_end] date; hence, anyone who takes a time instrument after the [blank_start]due[blank_end] date is [blank_start]on[blank_end] notice that it is [blank_start]overdue[blank_end] [...].
Answer
  • overdue
  • on

  • due
  • on
  • overdue

Question 63

Question
An instrument is [blank_start]dishonored[blank_end] when the party to whom the instrument is [blank_start]presented[blank_end] refuses to pay it. If a holder knows or has reason to know that an instrument has been [blank_start]dishonored[blank_end], the holder is on notice and cannot [blank_start]claim[blank_end] HDC status.
Answer
  • dishonored
  • presented
  • dishonored
  • claim

Question 64

Question
A holder cannot become an HDC if he or she has notice of any claim to the instrument or defense against it [...]. Knowledge of claims or defenses can be [blank_start]imputed[blank_end] (attributed) to the purchaser if these claims or defenses are [blank_start]apparent[blank_end] on the face of the instrument or if the purchaser otherwise had reason to know of them from facts surrounding the transaction.
Answer
  • imputed
  • apparent

Question 65

Question
A purchaser cannot become an HDC of an instrument so incomplete [blank_start]on[blank_end] its [blank_start]face[blank_end] that an element of [blank_start]negotiability[blank_end] is lacking [...]. [blank_start]Minor[blank_end] omissions are permissible because they do not [blank_start]call[blank_end] [blank_start]into[blank_end] [blank_start]question[blank_end] the validity of the instrument [...].
Answer
  • on
  • face
  • negotiability
  • Minor
  • call
  • into
  • question

Question 66

Question
Any irregularity [blank_start]on[blank_end] the [blank_start]face[blank_end] of an instrument (such as an obvious forgery or alteration) that [blank_start]calls[blank_end] [blank_start]into[blank_end] [blank_start]question[blank_end] its validity or ownership, or that creates an ambiguity as to the party to pay, will [blank_start]bar[blank_end] HDC status.
Answer
  • on
  • face
  • calls
  • into
  • question
  • bar

Question 67

Question
A person who does not [blank_start]qualify[blank_end] as an HDC but who [blank_start]derives[blank_end] his or her title [blank_start]through[blank_end] an HDC can acquire the rights and privileges of an HDC. This rule [...] is sometimes called the [blank_start]shelter[blank_end] [blank_start]principle[blank_end] [...].
Answer
  • qualify
  • derives
  • through
  • shelter
  • principle

Question 68

Question
The [blank_start]shelter[blank_end] [blank_start]principle[blank_end] extends the benefits of an HDC status and is designed to [blank_start]aid[blank_end] the HDC in readily [blank_start]disposing[blank_end] [blank_start]of[blank_end] the instrument. Anyone, no matter how far [blank_start]removed[blank_end] from an HDC, who can ultimately [blank_start]trace[blank_end] her or his title back to an HDC comes within the [blank_start]shelter[blank_end] [blank_start]principle[blank_end].
Answer
  • shelter
  • principle
  • aid
  • disposing
  • of
  • removed
  • trace
  • shelter
  • principle

Question 69

Question
By [blank_start]extending[blank_end] the benefits of HDC status, the [blank_start]shelter[blank_end] [blank_start]principle[blank_end] promotes the [blank_start]marketability[blank_end] and free transferability of negotiable instruments.
Answer
  • extending
  • shelter
  • principle
  • marketability

Question 70

Question
A holder is defined as a person in [blank_start]possession[blank_end] of an instrument "if the instrument is payable to [blank_start]bearer[blank_end] or, in the cases of an instrument payable to an identified person, if the identified person is in [blank_start]possession[blank_end]" [...].
Answer
  • possession
  • bearer
  • possession

Question 71

Question
Liability [blank_start]on[blank_end] a negotiable instrument can [blank_start]arise[blank_end] either from a person's signature on the instrument (signature liability) or from the [blank_start]warranties[blank_end] that are implied when the person [blank_start]presents[blank_end] the instrument [blank_start]for[blank_end] negotiation ([blank_start]warranty[blank_end] liability). A person who signs a negotiable instrument is potentially liable [blank_start]for[blank_end] payment of the amount stated [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument. Unlike signature liability, [blank_start]warranty[blank_end] liability does not require a signature and [blank_start]extends[blank_end] to both signers and nonsigners.
Answer
  • on
  • arise
  • warranties
  • warranty
  • presents
  • for
  • for
  • on
  • warranty
  • extends

Question 72

Question
The general rule is that every party, except a [blank_start]qualified[blank_end] indorser [one who indorses "without [blank_start]recourse[blank_end]"], who signs a negotiable instrument is either primarily or secondarily liable [blank_start]for[blank_end] payment of that instrument when it [blank_start]comes[blank_end] due.
Answer
  • qualified
  • recourse
  • for
  • comes

Question 73

Question
Signature liability is [blank_start]contractual[blank_end] liability—no person will be held [blank_start]contractually[blank_end] liable for an instrument that he or she has not signed personally or through an authorized [blank_start]representative[blank_end] (agent).
Answer
  • contractual
  • contractually
  • representative

Question 74

Question
A person who is primarily liable on a negotiable instrument is [blank_start]absolutely[blank_end] required to pay the instrument—unless, of course, he or she has a valid defense [blank_start]to[blank_end] payment. Liability is immediate when the instrument is signed or issued. No action by the holder of the instrument is required. Only makers and [blank_start]acceptors[blank_end] of instruments are primarily liable [...].
Answer
  • absolutely
  • to
  • acceptors

Question 75

Question
The maker of a promissory note unconditionally promises to pay the note according to its terms. It is the maker's promise to pay that [blank_start]renders[blank_end] the instrument negotiable.
Answer
  • renders

Question 76

Question
An [blank_start]acceptor[blank_end] is a drawee who promises to pay an instrument when it is [blank_start]presented[blank_end] later for payment [...] Once a drawee [blank_start]accepts[blank_end] a draft [...], the drawee becomes an [blank_start]acceptor[blank_end] and is obligated to pay the draft when it is presented for payment[...]. [blank_start]Acceptance[blank_end] of a check is called [blank_start]certification[blank_end].
Answer
  • acceptor
  • presented
  • accepts
  • acceptor
  • Acceptance
  • certification

Question 77

Question
Drawers and [blank_start]indorsers[blank_end] are [blank_start]secondarily[blank_end] liable. On a negotiable instrument, [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] liability is similar to the liability of a guarantor in a simple contract [...] in the sense that it is [blank_start]contingent[blank_end] liability. In other words, a [blank_start]drawer[blank_end] or an indorser will be liable only if the party that is [blank_start]primarily[blank_end] responsible for paying the instrument refuses to do so—that is, [blank_start]dishonors[blank_end] the instrument.
Answer
  • indorsers
  • secondarily
  • secondary
  • contingent
  • drawer
  • primarily
  • dishonors

Question 78

Question
On drafts and checks, a drawer's [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] liability does not arise until the drawee fails to pay or to [blank_start]accept[blank_end] the instrument, whichever is required. With regard to promissory notes, an indorser's [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] liability does not arise until the maker, who is primarily liable, has defaulted [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument [...].
Answer
  • secondary
  • accept
  • secondary
  • on

Question 79

Question
Parties are secondarily liable on a negotiable instrument only if the following events occur: 1. The instrument is [blank_start]properly[blank_end] and timely [blank_start]presented[blank_end]. 2. The instrument is [blank_start]dishonored[blank_end]. 3. Timely [blank_start]notice[blank_end] of [blank_start]dishonor[blank_end] is given to the secondarily liable party.

Question 80

Question
[...] [blank_start]Presentment[blank_end] occurs when a person [blank_start]presents[blank_end] an instrument either to the party liable [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument for payment or to a drawee for [blank_start]acceptance[blank_end]. [...] The [blank_start]party[blank_end] to whom the instrument must be [blank_start]presented[blank_end] depends on the type of instrument involved. A note or certificate of deposit (CD) must be [blank_start]presented[blank_end] to the maker for payment. A draft is [blank_start]presented[blank_end] to the drawee for acceptance, payment, or both. A check is [blank_start]presented[blank_end] to the drawee (bank) for payment [...].
Answer
  • Presentment
  • presents
  • on
  • acceptance
  • party
  • presented
  • presented
  • presented
  • presented

Question 81

Question
Timeliness is important for proper [blank_start]presentment[blank_end]. [...] Failure to present an instrument [blank_start]on[blank_end] time is a common reason for [blank_start]improper[blank_end] presentment and can lead to unqualified indorsers being [blank_start]discharged[blank_end] from secondary liability. A reasonable time for presentment is determined by the nature of the instrument, any usage of banking or trade, and the facts of the particular time.
Answer
  • presentment
  • on
  • improper
  • discharged

Question 82

Question
[...] [A]n instrument is [blank_start]dishonored[blank_end] when payment or acceptance of the instrument is refused or cannot be obtained within the [blank_start]prescribed[blank_end] time. An instrument is also [blank_start]dishonored[blank_end] when the required presentment is [blank_start]excused[blank_end] (as it would be, for example, if the maker had died) and the instrument is not properly accepted or paid [...].
Answer
  • dishonored
  • prescribed
  • dishonored
  • excused

Question 83

Question
In certain situations, a [blank_start]delay[blank_end] in payment or a refusal to pay an instrument will not [blank_start]dishonor[blank_end] the instrument. When presentment is made after an established [blank_start]cutoff[blank_end] hour (not earlier than 2:00 PM), for instance, a bank can postpone payment until the following [blank_start]business[blank_end] day without [blank_start]dishonoring[blank_end] the instrument [...].
Answer
  • delay
  • dishonor
  • cutoff
  • dishonoring
  • business

Question 84

Question
Once an instrument has been dishonored, [blank_start]proper[blank_end] notice must be given to secondary parties (drawers and indorsers) for them to be [blank_start]held[blank_end] liable. Notice may be given [blank_start]in[blank_end] any reasonable manner [...]. If the party giving notice is a bank, it must give any necessary notice before its midnight deadline (midnight of the [blank_start]next[blank_end] banking day after receipt) [...]. Notice by any party other than a bank must be given within [blank_start]thirty[blank_end] days following the day of dishonor or the day on which the person who is secondarily liable received notice of dishonor [...].
Answer
  • proper
  • held
  • in
  • next
  • thirty

Answer
  • on

Question 87

Question
An authorized agent may be held personally liable on a negotiable instrument in three situations. First, [...], if the agent signed the [blank_start]agent's[blank_end] own name on the instrument with no indication that she or he was signing as an agent, an HDC can hold the agent personally liable. Second, an agent may be held liable if the agent signed in both the agent's name and the principal's name but nothing on the instrument indicated the [blank_start]agency[blank_end] relationship. [...] The third situation in which an agent may be liable is when the agent indicates agency status in signing a negotiable instrument but fails to name the [blank_start]principal[blank_end] [...].
Answer
  • agent's
  • agency
  • principal

Question 88

Question
An important exception to the rules on agent liability is made for checks that are signed by agents. If an agent signs his or her own name on a check that is payable [blank_start]from[blank_end] the account of the [blank_start]principal[blank_end], and the [blank_start]principal[blank_end] is identified on the check, the agent will not be personally liable on the check [...].
Answer
  • from
  • principal
  • principal

Question 89

Question
Unauthorized signatures arise in two situations—when a person [blank_start]forges[blank_end] another person's name on a negotiable instrument and when an agent who lacks the [blank_start]authority[blank_end] signs an instrument on behalf of a principal. The general rule is that an unauthorized signature is wholly [blank_start]inoperative[blank_end] and will not bind the person whose name is signed or [blank_start]forged[blank_end].
Answer
  • forges
  • authority
  • inoperative
  • forged

Question 90

Question
[I]f an agent lacks the authority to sign the principal's name or has [blank_start]exceeded[blank_end] the authority given by the principal, the signature does not bind the principal but will bind the "unauthorized signer" [...].
Answer
  • exceeded

Question 91

Question
There are two exceptions to the general rule that an unauthorized signature will not [blank_start]bind[blank_end] the person whose name is signed: 1- When the person whose name is signed [blank_start]ratifies[blank_end] (affirms) the signature, he or she will be [blank_start]bound[blank_end] [...]. 2.When the [blank_start]negligence[blank_end] of the person whose name was forged [blank_start]substantially[blank_end] contributed to the forgery, a court may not allow the person to deny the effectiveness of an unauthorized signature [...].
Answer
  • bind
  • ratifies
  • bound
  • substantially
  • negligence

Question 92

Question
A person who forges a check or signs an instrument without authorization can be [blank_start]held[blank_end] personally liable [blank_start]for[blank_end] payment by a holder in due course, or HDC. [...] A holder who knew the signature was unauthorized would not qualify as an HDC (because of the good faith requirement) and thus could not [blank_start]recover[blank_end] from [a person forging a check or signing an instrument without authorization] [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument.
Answer
  • held
  • for
  • recover
  • on

Question 93

Question
Generally, when an indorsement is forged or unauthorized, the [blank_start]burden[blank_end] of [blank_start]loss[blank_end] falls [blank_start]on[blank_end] the first party to take the instrument with the forged or unauthorized indorsement. The reason for this general rule is that the first party to [blank_start]take[blank_end] an instrument is in the best [blank_start]position[blank_end] to prevent the [blank_start]loss[blank_end]. [...] This general rule has two important exceptions. These exceptions arise when an indorsement is made by an [blank_start]imposter[blank_end] or by a [blank_start]fictitious[blank_end] [blank_start]payee[blank_end].
Answer
  • burden
  • loss
  • on
  • take

Answer
  • imposter
  • induces
  • to
  • impersonated

Question 95

Question
When a person causes an instrument to be issued to a payee who will have no [blank_start]interest[blank_end] in the instrument, the payee is referred to as a [blank_start]fictitious[blank_end] [blank_start]payee[blank_end]. A [blank_start]fictitious[blank_end] [blank_start]payee[blank_end] can be a person or firm that does not truly exist, or it may be an identifiable party that will not acquire any [blank_start]interest[blank_end] in the instrument [...].

In addition to the signature liability, [blank_start]transferors[blank_end] make certain [blank_start]implied[blank_end] warranties regarding the instrument that they are negotiating. Warranty liability arises even when a [blank_start]transferor[blank_end] does not indorse (sign) the instrument [...]:
Answer
  • transferors
  • implied
  • transferor

Question 97

Question
Warranties fall into two categories: those that arise from the [blank_start]transfer[blank_end] of a negotiable instrument and those that arise [blank_start]on[blank_end] [blank_start]presentment[blank_end]. Both [blank_start]transfer[blank_end] and [blank_start]presentment[blank_end] warranties attempt to [blank_start]shift[blank_end] liability back to the wrongdoer or to the person who [blank_start]dealt[blank_end] face to face with the wrongdoer and thus was in the best [blank_start]position[blank_end] to prevent the wrongdoing.
