 Your choice:
A: ♠10 - West has only tried to find a fit in one major. Against No-trump, it's usually right to lead the other major when you have the choice.

Q-10-9 form a broken sequence, so you need to lead the top of the touching cards, not your fourth-best.

 Your choice:
A: ♦2 - Even though you have long Spades, you should not lead one. Dummy will have five of them and your partner has a maximum of one Spade. Spades is not a suit you will be able to set up.

Lead your fourth-best from your second suit, Diamonds.

 Your choice:
A: ♣A - The singleton is a great lead, but the ♣A is even better. You will get to see dummy and will be able to decide at trick two if it's right to play your singleton.

 Your choice:
A: ♠7 - You can't lead your four-card suit, since dummy has five of them. It's best to lead the other major, especially because a 3-card suit headed by an honor is usually a dangerous holding to lead from.

Lead second-highest from rubbish.
