Which are correct:

1-Bring me the shirt with the torn sleeve in the cupboard.
2-Bring me the shirt that has a torn sleeve in the cupboard.
3-Bring me the shirt that has a torn sleeve and that is in the cupboard.

4-Bring me the shirt in the cupboard that has a torn sleeve.
5-Bring me the shirt in the cupboard with a torn sleeve.

Gratefully,
Navi.

I think 4 and 5 are the best, 3 is possible, but not as good (kind of wordy), 1 and 2 have "in the cupboard" modifying "sleeve" instead of "shirt" and aren't good.
