1. Annoying, nagging doubt harbored deeply in my mind.
An annoying, nagging doubt harboured deep in my mind. ['Harboured' is the British spelling, 'Harbored' is the American spelling]

3. He opened the door by foot, not a doorknob.
He opened the door with his foot, not a doorknob.
4. This evil spirit has been sealing away long ago.

5. This guy wont be able to find his own back untill he stumbled it upon.

6. There were dozens of premises for this war.

7. Mary put a portly pot with stew on the table.
