Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 6 5 4 3 2
♥ 9 7 5
♦ 8 3
♣ 9 8 7 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as South?

---1 NT
Pass3 NTPassPass
Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♥7 - If you lead your Spades, even if by some sort of miracle you could set them up, how would you get back on lead to cash them? You wouldn't!

Lead a Heart for your partner, since the bidding sequence makes you think a major-suit lead will fare better than a minor.

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 5 3
♥ K 10 9 8
♦ 8 4 2
♣ 9 8 7 6 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♥1♠Pass
Pass2♦Pass3 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♣8 - Why did East pass over 1♠ and then bid 3 NT? He had a trap pass, probably with five Spades. He wanted to defend 1♠X.

It's clear to not lead Spades. Lead the unbid suit instead.

Question 3

 Your choice:
A: ♥7 - You need to lead a side-suit, to get tricks before declarer can discard on dummy's Clubs.

The suit where you have the best chance of finding something in your partner's hand and setting up winners is Hearts. And who knows, you might even take a ruff on the third round.

Your result so far:

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 7
♥ J 10 9 8
♦ 8 6 2

Q: 4 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♠7 - You might not want to lead your singleton because you would be ruffing with your own money, but this would only be the case if you got one ruff.

Since your partner will have all the entries, you might get two ruffs. Let's lead a Spade and hope for the best.

 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - This bidding sequence calls for an active defense, and an active lead, to try and take tricks before declarer can discard his losers on dummy's high cards.

The suit in which you have a high card offers the best chance of setting up tricks. That's Hearts.
