I'd like to solicit judgements on the following.

1. a. The news was announced that he had resigned.
   b. Those people were late that you'd invited.
   c. The time has come for us to make peace.
   d. The photos have arrived of us on holiday.

2. a. When was the news announced that he had resigned?
   b. Why were those people late that you'd lnvited?
   c. Has the time come for us to make peace?
   d. Have the photos arrived of us on holiday?

3. a. I thought the news implausible that he has
      resigned.
   b. I thought those people rude that you'd invited.
   c. I think the hour imminent for us to make peace.
   d. I'd thought the photos ready of us on holiday.

4. a. I believe the news to have been announced that
      he has resigned.
   b. I believe those people to be rude that you'd
      invited.
   c. I believe the time to be ripe for us to make peace.
   d. I believe the photos to be here of us on holiday.

5. a. It's too soon for the the news to have been
      announced that he has resigned.
   b. It's unacceptable for those people to be so rude
      that you've invited.
   c. I long for the hour to be imminent for us to
      make peace.
   d. It would be suprising for the photos to already
      be here of us on holiday.

6. a. With the news announced that he has resigned, all
      hell broke loose.
   b. With those people so rude that you've invited, I've
      decided to boycott the party.
   c. With the hour imminent for us to make peace, I send
      you this offering.
   d. With the photos now ready of us on holiday, we can
      set about sorting the albums out.

Feel free to offer alternative but more acceptable examples
of the same constructions, if you think any of my exx are
grammatical but infelicitous.

--And.
