The archaeologists were astonished

Hello,

Are these sentences correct?

1-The archaeologists were astonished to find such an incredibly rare beautiful artifact at that particular site.

2-Only after they had completed the analysis to that degree did they begin to ask how to apply technology to the needs of our enterprise.

3-The ostrich, which meat contains less cholesterol, is getting more and more popular.

4-The judges has an extremely hard time deciding whose painting was the best.

My answer:
1-3 and 4 are correct.

Thank you in advance

1 is OK, 2 is correct, 3 and 4 are wrong.

1 is OK, 2 is correct, 3 and 4 are wrong.

Teacher Rover, I fail to see how the particle 'did' makes sentence 2 correct.

Thank you

The structure 'Only after I had done this did I do that' is perfectly correct.

Thank you very much
