  Our recent works revisit the proof of chiral symmetry breaking in the
confining phase of four-dimensional QCD-like theories, i.e. $SU(N_c)$ gauge
theories with $N_f$ flavors of vectorlike quarks in the fundamental
representation. The analysis relies on the structure of 't Hooft anomaly
matching and persistent mass conditions for theories with same $N_c$ and
different $N_f$. In this paper, we work out concrete examples with $N_c=3$ and
$N_c=5$ to support and elucidate the results in the companion papers. Within
the same examples, we also test some claims made in earlier works.
