Multiple that and comma
It is well known that no comma stands in front of 'that'. What about multiple 'that'?
He knew that he was late with his invitation that he was doing it wrong that lately the girl was favouring native speakers as well as that he was out of luck and yet he was standing tall.
He knew that he was late with his invitation that he was doing it wrong that lately the girl was favouring native speakers as well as that he was out of luck and yet he was standing tall.

Thanks, Mister Micawber.
That was an instant answer to a question that tormented a mind that was in a state of confusion.
Or, perhaps, 'that' could possibly be replaced by 'which'?
