Correct Answer: these days is belonging


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation:
The error is in the tense and structure of the verb. Belong itself conveys the sense of ownership or possession in the present tense. The correct verb form in this context is belongs which directly communicates present ownership, making the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The scooter that I am using these days belongs to my brother."
