Answer 1

The sentence that should have commas removed from its restrictive clause is:

An author, who you would like, is Helen Keller.

The clause "who you would like" is restrictive, meaning it is essential to the meaning of the sentence; therefore, it should not be set off by commas. The correct version would be:

An author who you would like is Helen Keller.
