Has anybody seen this error?

I did this to define.

GRADED FUNCTION: parse_data_from_file

def parse_data_from_file(filename):
“”"
Extracts sentences and labels from a CSV file

Args:
    filename (string): path to the CSV file

Returns:
    sentences, labels (list of string, list of string): tuple containing lists of sentences and labels
"""
sentences = []
labels = []
with open("./bbc-text.csv", 'r') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.reader(csvfile , delimiter = ',')
    next(reader)
    for row in reader:
        labels.append(row[0])
        sentence = row[1]
        for word in stopwords:
          token = "" + word + ""
          sentence = sentence.replace(token , " ")
          sentence = sentence.replace ("" , "")
        sentences.append(sentence)  

    ### END CODE HERE
return sentences, labels

However, I got this error after testing the function.

Test your function

sentences, labels = parse_data_from_file(filename)

print(f"There are {len(sentences)} sentences in the dataset.\n")
print(f"First sentence has {len(sentences[0].split())} words (after removing stopwords).\n")
print(f"There are {len(labels)} labels in the dataset.\n")
print(f"The first 5 labels are {labels[:5]}")

This is the line in the assignment starter code:
sentences, labels = parse_data_from_file("./bbc-text.csv")

You have:
sentences, labels = parse_data_from_file(filename)

Please brush up on python before moving forward.
