Explanation:

- Elina is: This phrase is fine as a subject-verb combination in general, but it doesn't fit well with the context of the sentence referring to a continuous action that started in the past.

- Travelling: This word is correctly spelled and suits the context as a continuous action.

- Since: It is used to indicate the starting point of a period of time and is correctly used here.

- Yesterday: Correctly used as it refers to the day before today.

The error lies in the tense used along with "since yesterday." The correct structure should use the present perfect continuous tense: "Elina has been travelling since yesterday."

- Correct Answer: "Elina is"
