Answer:

She can place the phrase "from Texas" after the word "grandmother."

Step-by-step explanation:

A modifier in English grammar, is a phrase or a word or a clause that can change the meaning or can modify other words in the sentence. It is the optional element in the clause structure that can change the meaning of another element in the sentence.

In the context, the phrase, "from Texas" acts as the modifier which provides an extra detail in the sentence under discussion. By placing the modifier after the word 'grandmother', it provides the details about the grandmother that she is from Texas
