No change

Answer:

No change

Explanation:

The expression "for example" was correctly placed between two commas. This was done because this expression is not essential for the sentence, but it presents extra information, which enriches the text, but which would not be missed if it were excluded, as it would not change the meaning, coherence, or cohesion of the sentence. Such expressions should be placed between two commas, indicating a pause in the reading, and a small interruption in the reading rhythm.
