Discussion
(a) He asked Ram to go with him.
(b) The boy said that he would go with us.
(c) Being a very hot today, I remained in my tent.
(d) One should keep one's promise.
Answer: C
The incorrect sentence is Being a very hot today, I remained in my tent.
Two things are wrong. 'Hot' is an adjective here and cannot take the article 'a'. More importantly, the participle 'being' has no subject of its own, so it attaches itself to 'I', which makes it say that I was very hot today. The correct form is the absolute construction It being very hot today, I remained in my tent.
The others are correct: 'asked Ram to go with him', the reported 'said that he would go with us', and 'One should keep one's promise', where 'one' is correctly followed by 'one's'.
