Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A broker is correcting a new licensee’s misunderstanding for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving disciplinary grounds and Utah Division of Real Estate. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 16)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because disciplinary grounds requires candidates to recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks. The Utah reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
