Discussion
Although alarmed by the ____ , Professor Symes had no reason to doubt the ____ of his student’s results, for this student was nothing if not reliable.
Answer: A
Correct answer: implications - veracity
The last clause settles the second blank: the student was nothing if not reliable, so Symes had no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the results. Veracity is that word, and impudence and folly are not qualities one would doubt in results at all.
Although then requires the first blank to be troubling. What alarms him is what the results might mean - their implications. Errors would fit the alarm but contradict the second half, since errors are precisely a reason to doubt the results.
