 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - You need to lead your longest suit against No-trump. You still have a choice between Diamonds and Hearts, and since your opponents have not tried to find a major-suit fit, they are more likely to have length in the minors, so lead the major.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

 Your choice:
A: ♣6 - On this sequence, West will have a weak hand and East will have the points, so underleading an honor would be too risky. You need to lead a Club, where the risk of giving away a trick is lower.

Against No-trump, you lead long suits to set up length tricks, but that is impossible against suit contracts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: ♣4 - This time, East has a weak hand, so the risk of giving him a trick by leading away from a high card is low. Lead a Club to try and set up tricks quickly.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - You have the same length in Hearts and Spades, but it's better to lead from a Queen than an Ace.
