ANSWER: Your correct bid is three clubs. Having jumped to two notrump, your partner will not pass this bid. Now if he bids four clubs, showing a good club suit, you can afford to go on" to a Slam. If he merely bids three no- trump, you should pass.
Score 100% for three clubs, 60% for four clubs (indicates greater club strength), 80% for three notrump (inadequate).
