Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) completely forgot — just don’t know

Explanation

“Completely forgot” naturally places the degree adverb before the verb. In the second clause, “just don’t know” means simply do not know; “don’t just know” would change the scope and meaning. The most suitable complete pairing is **C**.
