Answer 1

Answer: When Barbra came home from the mall, she gave a bag that was filled with books to her little sister.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Little sister" would have to be the last phrase at the end of the sentence because if it isn't than it would be an misplaced modifier. Just keep it this way, when you're reading the sentence make sure to confirm if it's awkward or not because that will help you find that nasty modifier.
