Compared with the basic form, the broad form generally adds which group of additional perils?
Explanation
The broad form keeps the basic-form perils and adds five additional perils: falling objects; weight of ice, snow, or sleet; accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam from a plumbing, heating, or air-conditioning system; sudden and accidental tearing apart, cracking, burning, or bulging of a heating or steam system; and freezing. Flood, earthquake, war, and wear are excluded on all standard forms.
