Underline and correct ten mistakes in the following passage. Write the corrections in the space given below.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

In a decade of study on the subject, psychologist professor Leaf van Boven has concluded that material possessions do not provide with much enduring happiness as the pursuit of life experiences like travelling and going to concerts. A common belief that acquiring more material possessions earns us the esteem and admiration of others appear to be the exact opposite of the truth. Van Boven found that material people are more isolated. They have fewer friends and poorer quality friendships. In one experiment, strangers were paired for randomly and asked to have a conversation either about their possessions or their experiences. They who talked about which they had done warmed each other quickly while those who discussed the things they had went across as more selfish.

So, if you are stuck deciding between spending your hard-earned cash on a new car and a summer on travel, you now know which option to choose!
