1 = Promising one of several types of hands holding either 20+ hcp, or 8+ playing tricks and some defensive potential.
2 = A positive response requires a 5-card suit headed by KQ or AJT, and, 8+ hcp.
3 = NT-shaped hand, 22-23 hcp.
4 = Jacoby transfer.
5 = East would have taken this action with 21 hcp (2NT-3¨-4©), so it would be insane not to take it with 2 hcp more.East can't afford risking West to pass this one out below game, which East -with 5 hearts in dummy- can virtually make on his own
