 Your choice:

Open Question

Question 3

---1 NT

 Your choice:
A: ♦9 - Against 6 NT, you need to make a passive lead. Even a Heart from the 10 is too risky. Imagine if your partner had the ♥Q; you'd open the suit for declarer.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

 Your choice:
A: ♦A - They have stopped at the 5-level because they are missing two Aces.

Your best shot is to lead the Ace of Diamonds, hoping to find your partner with Diamond shortness. The Clubs will run as you have the Queen in front of dummy's length.
