The error messages are correct

The p element started on line 41 is terminated on line 43 by the <ul> 
tag. A p element must not, by the syntax rules, contain a block element 
like ul. The syntax allows end tag omission for the p element, so the 
end is implied here; this can be described by saying that a <ul> tag 
implies </p> before it, when there is an open p element. This leaves the 
end tag </p> on line 51 homeless.

To fix this, remove the stray end tags. You may add end tags where the p 
elements are actually ended, for clarity.
