Answer 1

The correct response is:

**In the first sentence, the goal is to save $10. In the second sentence, the goal is to buy a new bike.**

This option accurately reflects how the placement of the italicized phrase affects the meaning of each sentence. In the first sentence, the emphasis is on saving money ($10 each week) as the goal. In the second sentence, the emphasis shifts to the goal of buying a bike, indicating that the saving is a means to that end.
