Here's the answers to the previous posts.
A) 1H-1S-3H-4H
1H: 12+ HCP, 5+ H
1S: 6+ HCP, 4+ S, may or may not have H support
3H: 16-18 HCP, 6+ H, no 4card S
4H: To play
(With 19-20 HCP and 5 H/6 bad H, rebid 3NT. 21-22 HCP can open 2NT. With 19-22 HCP and 6H, consider opening 2C or rebidding 4H. Alternatively, you can fake a suit by jump shifting.)
B) 1C-1S-2NT
1C: 12+ HCP, 3+ C, no 5card major
1S: 6+ HCP, 4+ S
2NT: 19-20 HCP, balanced, may or may not have S support since 19+6=25 (Gameforcing)
(With 19-22 HCP unbalanced, jump shift will show 19+ HCP and also gameforcing.)
C) 1NT-2C-2H-2NT-4S
1NT: 16-18 HCP, balanced, no 5 card major
2C: Stayman, asking for 4card major
2H: 4card H, maybe 4card S
2NT: Invitation to 3NT
4S: To play, since responder must have 4card spade for stayman
