SAT question: what's wrong with the sentence?

"Professor Barnd, who enjoys welcoming international students to her home on Thanksgiving, served the traditional turkey dressed in Pilgrim clothing."

According to the SAT, the following replacment is needed: "...dressed in Pilgrim clothing to serve the traditional turkey."

What's the problem with the first version?

No probem if we use some common sense. Owing to the lack of inflections in English, a misunderstanding may occur: The traditional turkey was dressed in Pilgrim clothing, not the professor. CB
