two questions for help, even if a hint

[leolyy]

To those whom would stop for a look, though it is not a funny story, hehe

"Some people say that it is wrong for the government to spend much money on artistic projects, such as paintings and sculptures in public places."

i know that "in public places" play an attributive part in this sentence. But which phrase does it modify? "artistic projects" or "paintings and sculptures"?



here's another question:

which of the following two is more ok? i mean which is more consistent with teh english way:

1. As they had finished the assignments, the children went out for fun.

2. As the children had finished the assignments, they went out for fun.



thanks

2 They're both OK, though the first sounds more more natural to me.
