Answer 1

Answer: The sentence is punctuated correctly, but the participle phrase is misplaced.

Explanation: The sentence should be rewritten: The Amish movement, founded by Jacob Amman in 1698, stems from the Mennonite church.

This way it is clear that "founded by Jacob Amman in 1698" refers to the Amish movement, not the Mennonite Church.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Amish movement stems from the Mennonite church founded by Jacob Ammon in 1698.
