No
Yes, bid the 4 card major. BUT suppose my 5 card minor is what my partner opened? Is there a time I would bid that suit?
A bid in bridge replying to a partner's bid or double is a "response".
In the card game Bridge, a convenient minor can be opened if you have one of a suit and 13 points or more, or 5 cards of a major suit (hearts or spades). A response is possible if your partner also has cards in the same suit.
The diamond suit is a 'minor' suit. Clubs is also a 'minor' suit. Spades and hearts are the 'Major' suits. They are called that because major suits give more points in the scoring than minor suits. It only takes a four-bid to make 'game' in hearts or spades, but you must bid five diamonds or clubs to make 'game'.

Reverse bidding in bridge is a second bid, usually done by the opener at a two level or higher in a higher- ranking suit than the original bid. It's important to recognize a reverse when your partners does one.
