Answer 1

Sentence 4, by removing both commas

The sentence that contains an error in the use of a restrictive clause is Sentence 4. The clause "who play Stradivarius violins" is restrictive because it puts a restriction on which musicians the sentence refers to. It is necessary to the meaning of the sentence. Restrictive clauses should not be set off by commas. Commas are only used around nonrestrictive clauses. We can also tell that Sentence 4 is the correct answer because of the options given in the second question. Sentence 4 is the only one that has commas or the word "musicians".
