Good question! This is the way I would solve this stylistic problem:

1. A group of social anthropologists--who had field work experience in societies which, for whatever reason, had been described as "peaceful"--were invited to attend an informal seminar to discuss the issues involved in interpreting such societies.

The main idea, expressed in the main clause, is "A group of social anthropologists were invite to attend ... societies". The subordinate clauses ("who had ...; and "which ... had been") just provide additional information on their background knowledge.

2. The moment the house committed--the one insult not to be borne or witnessed a second time--each one fled at once.

The key-word in this sentence is "one". In your example, the sentence is ambiguous because "the one insult" may refer either to the fact that "each one fled at once" or to "the moment the house committed".

3. No sooner had the words been spoken than he realized he should have remained silent.

The first of the two auxiliary verbs ("had") must follow "no sooner", and the subject (" the words") of the verb should be placed after the first auxiliary (an emphatic construction). In turn, the past participle of "to be" ("been"), followed by the past participle of the main verb ("spoken") must follow the subject. The word "than", which completes the meaning of "no sooner", is the conjunction that joins the subordinate clause ("No sooner ... spoken") and the main clause ("he realized ... silent") together.

c. they can't furnish a explanation for construction partitions of separation, so it won't have the ability to be b or a. The consultant is a wolf in sheep's clothing, in seek of only to divide, and branch creates unrest. And no, Jesus did no longer comprise the objective to divide. His very nature divides out the stable from the undesirable; that's no longer his fault. No branch must be created by employing us. particularly, you would be smart to propose that guy or woman you particularly appreciate that he or she is speaking against Jesus' will to unite everyone (John 17). the affection of the international is the reason you discuss with everyone. For God so enjoyed the international that he sent his only begotten son (it particularly is you) so as that whoever would have self belief on him (it particularly is Jesus) may well be saved. tell her or him which you have a debt of like to everyone, to share the stable information of Jesus Christ. I used to take heed to those that have mentioned, "we are all human and we are all mess ups. all of us fail lots that we are going to no longer handle all and sundry who has an open strategies." I listened to that drivel for a rapid time, consistent with possibility for a week or 2. sometime, i began out to particularly enforce the proposition of John 17 and that i close them up in the Lord. They have been livid and threw a in high quality condition like each demons do while they're outsmarted. I then went and held Bible learn in a adverse section. Why? nicely this is by way of fact i grow to be sent by employing God to heal the international locations and that i might fairly hear to God than to a team of fat scaredy-cat-pessimist-cowards sitting in a circle of concern.
