Grammar question! please help!
Hey, while I'm studying English I found these sentences which include several errors in them.
The direction says, they are unnatural in terms of grammar, usage, and coherence.
But, as a student who study English as a foreign language, I had a hard time to figure out what is incorrect.
please help me with finding those errors!

robust go-getter in his 40s, was a heart attack waiting to happen.
2. But as dramatic as the terrorist attacks were, their deeper

3. The disposition of weapons of mass destruction into the hands of small
groups driven by far more varied motivations presents a threat that may be
obvious to us only after they act.
4. Only by resorting to a series of free-market reforms Jpan can revive
its declining economy and weak financial sector, said a paper from the
walkers Institute.
