The underlined verb, call, in the following sentence is correct because it is in the present tense, and the story takes place in the present. Sighing, I call Mom from my cell as I turned the car around. "I'm going to be late," I said. "I'll tell you the story when I get there."

Explanation:

I am not quite sure what the question here is, but the stated claim is false, so I'm assuming it has something to do with its revision.

The word "as" here suggests that two actions happend at the same time (calling mum and turning the car around). This, on the other hand means that both these actions need to be expressed in the same tense.

Since the verb "turned" is in the past tense, that suggests that the verb "call" should also be, meaning that the correct answer is "called".

So, the claim is false, because the verb should be in the past tense because the action also takes place in the past

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
