Travel is essential for our mental development. A recent study conducted by psychology professors found that regular travelers tend to be more open-minded than those who don’t travel regularly. It stated that travel introducted others to vast cultures, which helped them them adopt a more tolerant attitude. Various studies and surveys conducted over time have also proved that regular travel boosts one’s self-confidence and self-relience.

Answer:

spelling errors

doubling of words

Explanation:

The passage has two words misspelled “introducted” and “relience.” The correct spelling of the first word is “introduced,” which in this context means to bring someone to the attention of something/someone for the first time, and the correct spelling of the second word is “reliance” which means dependence or trust.

Likewise, passage has the error of doubling the words “them” in the following clause: “which helped them them adopt a more tolerant attitude.”
