..be sought means looked for, either physically, mentally or emotionally - after a death, peace might be sought by the survivors in the quiet of a church or the small noises of deep woods.......
As presented this makes no sense, as you say, but you say 'what does it mean "be sought" in the middle of the phrase' when it is not in the middle.
If it were in the middle of a longer sentence that began "The answer to the lack of communications between police and fire responders must be sought ...."
"be sought" means looked for, either physically, mentally or emotionally - "after a death, peace might be sought by the survivors in the quiet of a church or the small noises of deep woods."
