Explanation:
The original sentence used the pronoun in a wrong way - the way that sentence is written, it would seem that the table needed washing, and not the dishes. The revised sentence fixes this mistake by placing the pronoun nearer the antecedent.
An antecedent is a word or a phrase which is located in front of the pronoun (ante means before) and which that pronoun refers to. The pronoun here is 'that,' and its antecedent is 'the dishes.' So by moving the pronoun 'that' nearer the antecedent 'the dishes' we fixed the ambiguous sentence.
During Gatsby’s funeral there were only few people who attended.
These were Nick, Owl Eyes, a few servants and Gatsby’s father, Henry C. Gatz.
He came all the way from Minnesota and was proud of his son. He brought with a

tells Nick about Gatsby’s early life while showing him the book. After the
funeral, Nick decided to move back to the Midwest.
I hope this helps.
