In three to five sentences, explain how the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence.
In the first sentence, it implies that Marsha has a certain goal amount in mind for buying a new bike, and to achieve that goal she needs to save $10 each week. This goal could be a specific amount that Marsha calculated based on the cost of the bike and her current savings.
In the second sentence, it implies that Marsha wants to buy a new bike every week, and to achieve that, she needs to save $10 every week. This suggests that Marsha is a frequent or avid bike buyer, or that the cost of the bike is low enough that she can afford to buy one each week.
