I am afraid you are wrong

1st question is asking whether we pass or bid over 1 NT.
2nd question forces us to pretend as if we passed previously and asks what to do now.

It does not say "reply 2nd question if you passed in previously and do not reply if you bid previously"
But I maybe the one who is wrong, after all it is your native language.

What is the abstain option?

"I am unable to accept the conditions of contest, but because of the way the voting tool works, it is mandatory to select an option in the 2nd part of poll." with less words.

IMO Passing 1NT was silly, you know your LHO is not passing. Now that we have gained nothing much of interest except having allowed them to express something I bid 4S which is what I should have done long ago.

I would rather overcall 4♠ than pass. 'Sneaky' my aunt Petunia. Passing is like playing Russian Roulette with only one empty chamber. Exchange the ♣ AK for the ♣ 65 and you have a legitimate (although, imo, optional) 'sneaky' Pass.

Thx all. Hands were something like this:

(Check post down below)

South was a bit unlucky, since North had top cards, but none of them helped. Contract drifted 1 down calmly.

I think South was exceptionally lucky. How often does an opponent who has shown 15-17 turn out to have an 11-count?

And, regardless of RHO's range, it's really not surprising to find that partner's high cards aren't very useful in offence.

LOL what did I do there??

Found the hand record. Here it is. (Rotated for convenience)
