b.
The premium you pay guarantees that you will never have to pay more than your deductible in the event of an accident.
c.
The more types of insurance you include in your policy, the more protected you are from financial loss in the event of an accident.
d.

Answer 1

The statement that is not something you should be thinking when considering changes in your auto insurance policy is:

b. The premium you pay guarantees that you will never have to pay more than your deductible in the event of an accident.

This statement is misleading because while you do pay a premium for coverage, it does not guarantee that you will never have to pay more than your deductible; rather, you will always pay your deductible amount before your insurance covers the rest of the costs up to the coverage limits.
