Identify the part of the sentence given below which has an error.
Sarita told / me that / she is / going to Mumbai

Correct option is C

Error part: (c) she is
Correct form: she was / she was going to Mumbai
Detailed explanation:
• Reporting verb “told” is in past.
• In reported speech, when reporting verb is past, the tense in reported clause usually shifts back:
– Present Continuous ( is going) → Past Continuous ( was going)
• Hence, “she is going” should be “she was going”.
Correct sentence: Sarita told me that she was going to Mumbai.
Grammatical rule (English):
• Past reporting verb ⇒ Present Continuous → Past Continuous (is/are + V-ing → was/were + V-ing)
व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
• Past reporting verb होने पर tense पीछे जाता है: is going → was going।
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
