    1. Sort of paper used for making a report - NEWSPRINT

    2. How one relieving you of weapons behaves - DISARMINGLY

    3. ?

    4. Left to put up what gets knocked down = LOT

    (The term for when a "lot" in an auction is sold is "knocked down" Left = "L" and then "to" put up, means "to" backwards = "ot". Therefore L + ot = knocked down)
