The first option:

With the moving van packed my friend had to say goodbye.

There should be no comma there.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

-My sweet quiet father surprised us with his outburst yesterday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence "My sweet quiet father surprised us with his outburst yesterday" contains a comma error. The comma doesn't go between sweet and quiet because "My sweet quiet father" is a complete constituent and It can't be separated by a comma. The adjectives "sweet" and "quiet" are modifying the noun "father" so "My sweet quiet father" is a phrase.
