Punctuate a sentence in two ways to have two differnt meanings

Hi there

Can anyone help with the following. Racked my brains all day and have got nowhere.

Punctuate each of the following in two different ways to show that each sentence may have two quite different meanings: My answers are in red font. I can do question 1, but not question 2.

  1. Harry announced Peter won the race. ("Harry!", announced Peter, "Won the race.") and (Harry announced, "Peter won the race!")

  2. Uncle came home at seven o' clock ten minutes after auntie left.
