in earnest
[This sentence is not grammatically incorrect, but it's worth noting that "in earnest" is typically not used to describe a person or their intentions/sincerity directly this way. Instead, we should say "he was earnest". The most typical usage of "in earnest" is the one you use in sentence 3 - as a description for the intensity of an activity.]
