• B: The insurance covers All Risks at 110 percent of the invoice value.

• A: Is War Risk to be covered?• B: No, it’s not necessary to add it to the cost. • A: You might be right there. But I think your

CIF price should include adequate coverage against risks. And risks mean things that may happen.

• B: We’ll surely cover the goods against risks liable to happen, but not all. That’s not workable.

• A: Hmm… What losses will be covered by your All Risks?

• the first that-clause serves as the complement of the adjective concerned, further explaining what is being concerned about; be in that everything be handled properly is in present subjunctive mood to express intention, surprise, doubt, worry, etc. The second that forms a compound conjunction with so (so…that), showing the degree of being concerned.
