The correct sentence would be: During the party, Mrs. Saint-Claire served pizza on paper plates to the children.

This sentence has the most proper sentence construction compared to the other choices. The thought that the sentence wants to convey is clear to the reader.

Jeffrey Phillips · Answer 2

The correct answer is - During the party, Mrs. Saint-Claire served pizza on paper plates to the children.

The original sentence is definitely not correct the way it was written. It would mean that Mrs. Saint-Clair was served on paper planes due to the first phrase (served on paper planes) being placed incorrectly in the sentence. The other sentence means that the children were served on paper planes, which is also obviously incorrect.
