Help on a few sentences' meanings
I've been recently studying 504 absolutely essential words in which I encountered ambiguities in the meaning of the following sentences:
1. No one has advanced a theory explaining the beginnings of writing.
2. A fertile mind need never be uneasy about finding life uneventful.
3. Rather than make a hasty decision, Mr. Torres rejected the offer.
4. The rash young man claimed the lottery prize only to find he had misread his number.
5. The probe into the Congressman's finances turned up some unforeseen difficulties.
Please explain the meaning of each sentence. If needed I'll let you know where the ambiguity lies for me.

Does it mean, ‘An imaginative person should not worry about the fact that his/her life is routine’ or ‘There should be spice in in an imaginative person’s life’ or something else? 3. I cannot fathom out what rejecting an offer has to

1. This sentence is talking about how writing became into existence. Otherwise it would say 'how to begin writing'.
2. An imaginative person should not worry about the fact that his/her life is routine’. 'Don't be worried about finding it boring'.
3. He did not want to accept the offer without thinking carefully about it, but he had no time to think about it, so he rejected the offer.
