A) Mistakes- the key line mentioned is "errors will be made, and have to be corrected".
F) Reversed- for the keyword was "retracted". Retracted means to take back. So even though the findings are not "officially" taken back, they are nonetheless reversed.

i firstly choose A but for second blank, the way i interpret the information distract my choice for both blanks and choose E
as '' Even in cases where findings are not officially retracted, they are sometimes (ii)___________ — definitively shown to be false, and thus no longer valid pieces of scientific information.
'' i interpreted it as that the findings which are not revised , they are misinterpreted ,shown to be false and no longer valid pieces of scientific information (coz no further revised or work on it ).
can you please explain where I'm getting it wrong
