the pocorn appealed to me that whas freshly popped <- this is the sentence with the incorrectly placed adjective clause. in this sentence, the adjective clause is "that was freshly popped", because it is a clause that describes the popcorn. adjective clauses almost always go next to the noun they are describing, usually in second place right after it.
