Did you mix up the titles? For me, partner's double is takeout, so I am sure 3♣ will be a good spot, a very pleasant situation. Whereas in the other hand, I have to pass, despite not yet having shown my hand, quite unpleasant...

3♣ seems perfectly descriptive here.

The last hand I doubled, that's always pleasant situation. ;)
In this one I was between 3♣ and pass. And I passed, which was an unpleasant situation, because they made 2♦x+3 :o

Partner has doubled for take-out and you have five cards in one of the unbid suits. This really shouldn't be a problem.

3C seems normal.

if opponents were strict 4-card majorites there is something to be said for 2S, particularly at matchpoints, because that's our likely fit. But precision is a 5CM system.

Don't see any other choice than 3♣...

If you want to get a poll result worth anything, I suggest you don't say what happened on the hand until you have all the votes you want to see!

It won't matter much here, 3C is the only possibility.
