Q1:Why do you think that "aren't' was wrong ? it doen't appear among possible mistake given in this sentense." Three days"?? Plural?

Somebody goofed with the highlighting.
I don't think there's any good logical reason, but this is the way we deal with units idiomatically. We look at this as an amount - a quantity. "Amount" and "quantity" are singular. "The quantity was insufficient."
Two hundred dollars isn't enough.
Do you think five gallons

Edit. Sometimes, if you wish to consider the units as individuals, you can use the plural:
Your five minutes were gone five minutes ago!
GG uses the expression, "a block of time." (one block - singular) Your three hours is up.
