Parts of the following sentence have been highlighted and given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
The Dutta company has not being making new school bags since the lockdown commenced.

Correct option is C

Option (c) being contains an error.

Explanation:

• The phrase "has not being making" is incorrect because ‘being’ is not used in the present perfect continuous tense.
• The correct form should be "has not been making", as the sentence describes an action that started in the past and continues in the present.

Corrected sentence:
The Dutta company has not been making new school bags since the lockdown commenced.

Grammatical Rule Used:

• Present Perfect Continuous Tense:has/have + been + verb-ing is the correct structure.
• Example: "She has been studying for the exam since morning."

Why the other options are correct:

• (a) since – Correct, as it is used to indicate the starting point of the action.
• (b) has not – Correct, as it properly negates the verb in the present perfect continuous tense.
• (d) commenced – Correct, as it means "began" and is appropriate in the context.

Thus, the correct replacement is "been" instead of "being".
