Playing matchpoints. Neither side is vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠
♥A874
♦9753
♣A8432
Partner opens the bidding with 1♠. The Opponents are silent during the auction. What is your call?

How about 1NT?
This shows 6 to 10 HCP with fewer than three ♠.
This does not show a balanced hand.
If you "Pass" because you don't want to bid 1NT without a balanced hand you might have missed a game. Partner could have a VERY nice hand over there! You all allowed to "Pass" with fewer than six HCP but with at least 6 you should bid.
If you bid 2♣ you told Partner that you had at least 10 or more HCP. (New suit at the 2 level.) Partner will get very excited!
