• When we are given a sentence to spot the mistake, we must check if there is agreement among the parts of speech in it.
• Especially, the agreement between subject and verb must be looked into.
• Here the subject is 'mother' and the verb is 'was praying'. There is agreement between them in person and number.
• That is the noun is in singular and the verb is also in singular and both agree in third person also.
• But there is an error in the phrase using 'praying'.
• It should be 'praying for'.
• Therefore the answer is: The mother was praying for her ailing child
