Good luck!

Question 1

Your Hand
♠ A Q 6
♥ 7 5
♦ K J 5 4
♣ K 10 6 4

Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♣	1♠
?

A: 3 NT - You have enough points for game and a Spade stopper. Bid the No-Trump game.

You don't need to worry about the Hearts. When your opponents have bid a suit, you should only care about a stopper in their suit.

Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?

South	West	North	East
-	-	1♣	1♠
?

A: Double - You would have bid 1♥ if East hadn't bid, but now you can't.

The double says exactly this: 'East has left me with no room to bid my 4-card Heart suit'.
