Answer (2)

The girl gave a tour of the house with the blue dress.
She didn't give a tour "with the help of the blue dress" but in it, therefore the sentence should look like this: The girl with the blue dress gave a tour of the house.

The sentence with the misplaced adjective phrase is A: 'The girl gave a tour of the house with the blue dress.' This sentence suggests the tour is connected to the dress rather than the girl. It should be corrected to: 'The girl with the blue dress gave a tour of the house.'
