Answer 2

The second, the fourth and the fifth sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first sentence, "that I made (...) birthday" is an essential or defining relative clause, therefore it should not be separated by any punctuation from the main sentence; the same applies to "who inspired many great films" in the third sentence. In the second sentence, the non-essential clause "who was kind and compassionate" is properly set off with commas, and the same is true for the appositive "painter and sculptor" in the fifth sentence. "With the red jacket" in the fifth sentence is an essential prepositional phrase so it is correct to have it merge with the sentence without punctuation.
