The sentence with the incorrectly placed modifying phrase is:
"Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store once she saves up enough money, Shoe Empire."
The phrase "Shoe Empire" is incorrectly tacked onto the end of the sentence, making it unclear whether it modifies "store" or "money." It would be better placed directly after "store" for clarity, like this: "Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store, Shoe Empire, once she saves up enough money."
"Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store once she saves up enough money, Shoe Empire."
