after "buy"
after "buy"

after "better"
after "better"

after "Avenue"
after "Avenue"

after "one"

Answer 1

The italicized phrase should be placed after "one".

This placement clarifies that the comparison is between the new bakery and the specific one Clara mentioned, rather than suggesting that the new bakery is better than the act of buying cupcakes. The revised sentence would read:

"The new bakery on Fifth Avenue is better than the one that Clara told me about."
