{'underlined part': [0, 0, 0, 5], 'answer sheet': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'time slot': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'minutes': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'section': [3, 1, 0, 35], 'corresponding letter': [0, 0, 0, 10], 'directions': [1, 0, 0, 10], 'response': [0, 0, 0, 23], 'error': [0, 0, 0, 10], 'parts': [6, 2, 8, 19], 'speaker': [1, 1, 0, 0]}
In this sentence, the error is in part B, where it says "are allowed". The subject of the sentence is "a time slot of fifteen minutes", which is a singular noun phrase. Therefore, the verb should be in the singular form "is".
Option 1 (A) is not the correct answer because there is no error in part A.
Option 2 (B) is the correct answer because part B contains the error.
Option 3 (C) is not the correct answer because there is no error in part C.
Option 4 (D) is not the correct answer because the sentence does have an error.
To summarize, the correct answer is option 2 because there is an error in part B where the verb "are allowed" should be replaced with "is allowed".
