3. Look only at the East hand. After opening one diamond, what should he rebid when West responds (a) one heart; (b) one spade; (c) one no-trump; (d) two clubs; (e) two no-trump, balanced, no four-card major, game-invitational; (f) three spades, a splinter bid showing good diamond support, at least game-going values and a singleton or void in spades.
The answers are: (a) one spade; (b) two spades (although three spades isn't wrong); (c) pass (although two clubs could work out well); (d) three clubs; (e) pass; (f) three no-trump (warning partner of good spades).
