No takeout shape, clubs are too weak to bid with this 5-card suit & not enough shape to try for either minor so Pass

Really tough hand partner needs as little as xx, Kxxxx, x, Kxxxx for you to potentially make 5♣, but difficult to find a sensible action to take

really tough hand. Pass, X and 4C all seem flawed but somewhat reasonable. I guess to bid 4C but I don't like it at all.

If you bid 4C, p will raise.
4C is quite often played as 2-suiter, and you only have a 5 carder and a semi bal. hand,
i.e. stopping in 4C is not simple, pass is ok.
