[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

In the first sentence, "each week" specifies the frequency at which Marsha needs to save $10 in order to reach her goal of buying a new bike. It indicates that she must consistently save $10 every week in order to achieve her goal. In the second sentence, "each week" modifies the goal of buying a new bike, indicating that Marsha's goal is to buy a new bike every week. This changes the meaning entirely, suggesting that Marsha's goal is not just to buy one new bike, but to buy a new bike on a weekly basis.
