 * you will need to upload a fresh copy of comments.php to your site
 * Since you have access to the back end still, you can do that in the editor, just
   copy/paste

 * no, you get the fresh copy of your theme. Re-download it from wherever you got
   it
 * You can then unzip the folder on your computer, and reinstall that file to wp-
   content/themes/villiage using an ftp program or file manager
 * Or open comments.php directly on your computer (Using notepad / wordpad / some
   other code editor) copying the text, and pasting it in place of the broken code
   in the editor
