When the parenthesis phrase is placed after the word "goal," it indicates that the new bike is the main focus and that Marsha needs to save $10 each week in order to reach that goal. However, when the parenthesis phrase is placed after the word "week," it suggests that saving $10 is the main focus and that doing so each week will help Marsha reach her goal of buying a new bike. The placement of the adverb changes the emphasis of the sentence and highlights either the goal or the weekly saving amount as the primary objective.

By placing the parentheses after "goal," the emphasis is on the new bike being the target to achieve by saving $10. On the other hand, by putting the parentheses after "week," the focus shifts to saving $10 weekly as the means to reach the goal of buying a new bike.
