Correct Answer: If you do not see someone, you forget about them.
Solution : The third option is correct.
Explanation: The underlined segment, out of sight, out of mind , is an idiomatic expression that means that when something or someone is no longer visible or present, it tends to be forgotten. The correct option should capture the essence of this idiom. The third option is the most appropriate substitution because it maintains the idiomatic meaning of the original sentence.
