[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Placing the italicized phrase "each week" at the beginning of the sentence puts the focus on the frequency of Marsha's saving, emphasizing the consistent effort required to reach her goal. On the other hand, when the phrase is placed at the end of the sentence, the emphasis shifts to the amount of money she needs to save each week to reach her goal. The placement of the phrase changes the overall tone of the sentence and highlights different aspects of Marsha's saving goal.
