The complete sentence is:
Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year.
The complete sentence is: "Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year."
To determine which of the options is a complete sentence, you can look for a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or what is being said about the subject). In this case, the subject is "forecasters" and the predicate is "predicted six more weeks of winter this year." This sentence is complete because it conveys a complete thought and can stand on its own as a sentence.
The other options are not complete sentences. The first option, "Although the weather is sometimes warm in early March," is a dependent clause because it starts with the subordinating conjunction "although" and does not have a complete thought. The third option, "The old saying, "In like a lion, out like a lamb"," is a noun phrase but not a complete sentence because it lacks a predicate.
