'implications' vs 'errors'

[Ilovepsycho]

Q. 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.

a. onclusions - folly

b. deductions - impudence

c. implications - veracity

d. errors - truth

e. inferences - invalidity

I thought 'errors' was correct because the sentence includes 'Although' which is used to contrast the clauses so that 'despite' errors, Symes believed in the 'truth' of his student's results.

However, the answer is 'implications' and I get to be confused. Somebody help me!

'Implications' and 'veracity' also warrant 'although', but the key point is that 'truth' is not really appropriate here. Results can be 'reliable', 'convincing' or 'veracious' (= precisely accurate), but they are seldom the 'truth'.

Mister Micawber, thanks for your answer.
However, I still have some question.
According to your answer, 'veracity' and 'truth' differ from each other in terms of meaning (I think you intend to say to me that 'truth' is about 'an absolute fact' and 'veracity' is about 'an precisely accurate fact'),
but depending on Oxford Dictionary, 'veracity' means 'the quality of being true; the habit of telling the truth' and the word's synonyms are 'truth' and 'truthfulness'.
As a foreigner, I'm confused somewhat in understanding subtle difference between 'truth' and 'veracity'.
