Correct Answer: slipped my mind


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

In the given sentence, the speaker had the intention to mention something but forgot to do so, making slipped my mind an appropriate idiom to fill in the blank.

Slipped my mind: This idiom is used to convey the idea that you forgot or overlooked something. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the speaker intended to mention something but, due to forgetfulness or oversight, failed to do so.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: I was going to mention it, but it slipped my mind.
