Does it surprise you that Wegener’s ideas about continental drift were not immediately accepted? Do you think that explanations that can explain most, but not all, of a problem, should be taken seriously? Or does the explanation of a problem need to be able to resolve every issue?

I was not surprised because Wegener's believed that the force of the Earth's spin was sufficient to cause continents to move, but geologists understood this was not the case. Every explanation of a problem needs to be able to resolve the issue because you need to show evidence and explain your answer whatever you are solving.

No, Wegener's ideas about conditenal drift not being immediately accepted doesn't surprise. It doesn't surprise me because when you make a claim about a specific topic that serious, no one is going to believe you unless you provide true and supporting evidence. In my opinion, the explanation of a problem doesn't always need to able to resolve every issue. That's like saying every explanation has the answer to solving something.

Why were many scientists reluctant to accept Wegener’s idea of continental drift?

Wegener's idea was largely dismissed since he proposed no mechanism for repositioning the continents. He believed that the force of the Earth's spin was sufficient to cause continents to move, but geologists understood this was not the case.
