Can you give me an example of how, if the offensive team is guilty of an infraction, a corner kick can be awarded.

Sure. The attacking team encroaches before the penalty kick is taken, but when it is kicked the ball is saved and deflected over the goal by the goalkeeper.
The correct restart is a corner kick.
The reasoning is that you do not negate the great play of the keeper saving the penalty kick because the attacking team committed an infringement of the Law, but you must award the attacking team the ball since the defense touched it last before it left play.
