The sentences that correct the misplaced modifier are:

  1. She quickly read the book that Dad gave her.
  2. Dad gave her a book that she read quickly.

These two options clarify that she read the book quickly rather than suggesting that the book itself was read quickly. The other options maintain the misplaced modifier, making it unclear.
