To reach her goal of buying a new bike each week, Marsha will need to save $10.
In three sentences, explain how the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence.
1. In the first sentence, "each week" modifies "save $10," indicating that Marsha will need to consistently save $10 every week in order to reach her goal.
2. In the second sentence, "each week" modifies "buying a new bike," suggesting that Marsha wants to buy a new bike every week, which would require saving much more than $10.
3. The placement of the italicized phrase completely changes the meaning of the sentence, as it either refers to the frequency of saving money or the frequency of buying a new bike.
