Answer 1

1. The correct answer is option A, Independent teams reviewing their work and arriving at the same conclusion

Reason:

Usually, a scientist publishes their findings in a famous journal to establish its worth publication in magazines is not worthy, like wise explanation of their experimental procedures in detail also of no worthiness until unless it is published somewhere and Proposing explanations for evidence that contradicts their conclusion  can be part a of the experimental outlier but it cannot be be a full proof explanation of research. Thus option A, " Independent teams reviewing their work and arriving at the same conclusion" is the best way to verify the study.

2. The correct answer is option

Apes have long legs and no tales. They are also larger than monkeys.
