OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
D, E
There are two important clues here. The reliability of meteorologists is dubious, or questionable, and that is because weather can't be predicted with perfect accuracy. Weather is fundamentally mercurial, lor changeable. Therefore, the words for the blank will indicate that weather is unpredictable or changeable. Capricious means "fickle" or "changeable," which are synonyms of erratic. (D) and (E) are correct.
