B. Find mistakes using commas in these sentences.
There are some who say, that competitive sport has no place in public education. People
tend to say this because it encourages children to work against each other and not with
each other. Another argument often made, is that competitive sport makes children, who
are not naturally gifted, feel inferior and this makes them feel less confident. For
example, a girl who is not athletic, may never be selected for the school’s team in netball
and could begin to feel that she is less good than her peers. This feeling, which is all too
common, may then also influence her studies and lead to a general lack of self-esteem.
