The answer is (i.e. the answer with the misplaced adjective phrase) . . .

<em><u>A.  Mr. Anderson made a table for his wife with three legs</u></em>.

This sentence makes it sound as if Mr. Anderson's wife has three legs, when in fact it is the table that has three legs.

Correctly written, it should look like this . . .

"Mr. Anderson made a table <em>with three legs</em> for his wife."

Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence using the word given.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1. If <u>you </u><em><u>happened</u></em><u> to go</u> to the shops, could you buy me some toothpaste?

2. They'll return his money <u>as </u><em><u>long</u></em><u> as he has</u> the original receipt.

3. We won't be able to go to Paris <em><u>unless</u></em><u> we have enough</u> money.

4. <u>If </u><em><u>only</u></em><u> we had gone</u> to the party yesterday.

5. You'll be able to contact her any time <u>in </u><em><u>case</u></em><u> you need</u> her help.

Explanation:

1. If <u>you happened to go</u> to the shops, could you buy me some toothpaste?

In this sentence, "happened" is used to mean the same intention of asking for help.

2. They'll return his money <u>as long as he has</u> the original receipt.

The use of the phrase "as long as" presents a valid reason for why or how the refund will be given, which is the same as "but only if".

3. We won't be able to go to Paris <u>unless we have enough</u> money.

"Unless" is and can be used to mean the same as "if" for it presents a condition for a successful 'action/result'.

4. <u>If only we had gone</u> to the party yesterday.

Using "if only" in the sentence presents the same feeling of regret in "what a shame".

5. You'll be able to contact her any time <u>in case you need</u> her help.

The use of the phrase "in case" presents the same intention of a need and replaced the word "because".
