To reach her goal of buying a new bike each week, Marsha will need to save $10. In three to five sentences, explain how the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence. (4 points)

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

In the first sentence, the phrase "of buying a new bike" is placed after the goal of reaching her goal. This indicates that her goal is specifically related to acquiring a new bike, suggesting that buying a new bike is the ultimate objective she aims to achieve through her savings. On the other hand, in the second sentence, the same phrase is placed after the new bike. This conveys that Marsha's goal is to buy a new bike each week, which implies that she aims to continuously purchase new bikes with the $10 she saves. The difference in placement changes the focus of the goal from obtaining a single bike to acquiring multiple bikes over a period of time.
