 Your choice:
A: ♠3 - You will lead a long suit, but how to choose between Spades and Diamonds?

Look at the bidding sequence. West did not search for a major fit. Therefore, they will have length in the minors. Lead a Spade.

 Your choice:
A: ♣7 - You are going to lead your five-card suit, but which card? 9-8-7 do not form a sequence, so you need to lead your fourth-best.

Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A 7 6 3
♥ 9 8 6 2
♦ 8 2
♣ 10 9 3

 Your choice:
A: ♥8 - Ace-fourth is usually a bad holding to lead from against No-trump (and even worse against a suit contract). It's best to lead a Heart, since you also have four cards there.

With four small, you shouldn't lead your fourth-best. Lead the second-highest, to show weakness.

Lead your longest.

 Your choice:
A: ♥3 - You need to choose a major, and it's better to underlead a Queen than a King.

Three honors could help you in partner's hand - the Ace, King or Jack. If you were to lead from a King, only the Ace or Queen could help you.
