Answer 1

I disagree with your answer for 3. The others are correct.

Answer 2

Check your text for number 4. Some grammarians would eliminate the comma between two such short clauses.

Answer 3

Thanks for the help! For 3, is it advice, for the state of advising?

I think that 4 does not need the comma, but the wording of the question confused me for 5. 5 does not need any MORE commas, but it needs the commas it has :/ I think the question could have ben worded better...

Answer 4

4 is avarice.

5 does not need any commas. It's a simple sentence with a compound predicate.

Answer 5

Number 1 was " out of control and natural"

Number 2 was "sad and depressing"

Number 3 was "avarice" not advice

Number 4 with the long Jack rode his bike and nodded back cheerfully was "correct"

Number 5 with the system alert was "incorrect"
