Answer

The answer is: They bought a kitten they call Shadow for my brother.

Explanation
Option 1: They bought a kitten for my brother they call Shadow.

This sentence has a misplaced modifier. The phrase "they call Shadow" is intended to modify "a kitten," but its placement after "my brother" makes it seem like "my brother" is called Shadow, which is not the intended meaning.

Option 2: They bought a kitten they call Shadow for my brother.

This sentence correctly places the modifier "they call Shadow" immediately after "a kitten," which it is intended to describe. The sentence clearly conveys that the kitten is called Shadow and was bought for the brother.
