b. Mr. Sargent bought a sweater for his dog with purple and pink spots.
c. The new roof on that house is gray.
d. The daisies and snapdragons in the garden look glorious.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Mr. Sargent bought a sweater for his dog with purple and pink spots. The positioning of the phrase "with purple and pink spots" implies that the dog is covered in purple and pink spots, not the sweater.
