[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

In the first sentence, "of buying a new bike" is describing Marsha's goal, which is to purchase a new bike. This implies that buying a new bike is the end result of her saving $10 each week. In the second sentence, "of buying a new bike each week" is describing the frequency at which Marsha wants to achieve her goal. This implies that she wants to buy a new bike every week, which would require saving $10 each week. The placement of the italicized phrase changes the focus of the sentence from the end goal of purchasing a bike to the frequency at which Marsha wants to achieve that goal.
