The sentence with a misplaced adjective phrase is option A: "Mr. Sargent bought a sweater for his dog with purple and pink spots," as it incorrectly suggests the dog has the spots. The correct meaning is that the sweater has the spots instead. Misplaced phrases can confuse readers about what is being described.
