Use the North and South hands to answer the next 4 questions.
1. What is South’s opening bid?
| 1 ♠ | 1 NT | 2 ♠ | 2 NT |
South has 23 HCP and a 5-card ♠ suit. South can open 2 ♠.
2. What is North’s response?
| Pass | 3 ♦ | 3 ♠ | 2 NT |
North has 6 HCP and a 6-card ♦ suit. North’s hand is too strong for the 2 NT waiting bid, and North doesn’t have 3-card support for ♠. North should bid 3 ♦.
3. How should South answer North?
| Pass | 4 ♦ | 3 ♠ | 3 NT |
South has a balanced hand with stoppers in the unbid suits. With only 2-card support for ♦, South should bid 3 NT.
4. How should North rebid?
| Pass | 5 ♦ | 4 ♠ | 4 NT |
North couold probably make 3 ♦, but 3 NT is an easier bid to make. North should pass.
