Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid

Please read these posts to learn about the take out double.
Introducing the Take Out Double
Responding to a Take Out Double with an Opening Hand
Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid and you have a Weakish hand
Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid and you have an Intermediate Strength Hand
Responding to a Take Out Double with a Six Card Major
Take Out Double -- Responding when the Opponents Bid and you have their Suit!

Responding to a Take Out Double when RHO bids:
HCP Bid
0-5 Pass
6-8 Bid your LONGEST suit at the lowest level as long as it is not the 3 level
9-11 or Bad 12 Jump and bid your LONGEST suit as long as that means you are not bidding at the 4 level. If by jumping you would have to bid at the 4 level then bid but do not jump. In other words just compete at the 3 level.
Good 6 card major Bid game in the major.
Good 12 or 13 or more Bid game in your major.
Good hand with the suit RHO bid Double


So with that in mind what do you respond with each of these hands when your LHO opens the bidding 1♣, Partner says "Double" and your RHO bids 1?
