I'm confused by #4. Please explain to me. Is it an inverted sentence as written in (a)? The underlined part is the subject, so the original sentence can be written as (b).

a. Only in the last few days has the idea of moving to a small house made sense.

b. The idea of moving to a small house has made sense only in the last few days.
