Explanation
For the first blank, the clue is that the conservatives’ belief deals with the Scripture never being wrong, suggesting the missing word means perfection or infallibility. Fallacy is the opposite of what you need, and interpretation also does not mean infallibility. That makes inerrancy
the best answer for the first blank. For the second blank, the trigger word However signals a different interpretation of the same belief, the meaning of the missing word. Erudition, or scholarly knowledge, can be eliminated, and centurion is irrelevant to the clues and blank. The right answer is doctrine, which means belief.
Hence options A and F are correct!

For the first blank the interpretation might seem to be a little bit tricky, but when you go after "best" option that meets and conveys the most approximate meaning and is more compatible with the context of the sentence, you would agree it must be inerrancy derived from errant that means something wrong and imperfect, away from being impeccable.
