Homework Help: English

I need help with prepositional phrases. I’m given sentences and I’m supposed to rewrite them changing the position of the prepositional phrases so that the sentences are not confusing. If they are already correct, I’m supposed to write correct.

I made corrections. Are these correct Ms. Sue? Thank you so much for the help as well.

4 and 5 are correct now.

I'd write the last two this way.

Hunters on horseback track foxes with English foxhounds.

Rabbits leave a scent that basset hounds with their noses to the ground are good at tracking.
