Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: recollect
Explanation: "recollect" means to remember or bring something back to mind. The sentence describes someone trying, but failing, to remember a phone number, so "recollect" is the appropriate choice.
recollect: means to remember; matches the context of trying to recall a phone number.
reproduce: means to duplicate or copy something; does not mean 'remember'.
predict: means to forecast or say what will happen in the future; not related to recalling memories.
pertain: means to relate to or be relevant to something; it does not mean 'remember' and is not suitable here.
Usage note: You can say "I could not recollect the phone number" or "I could not recollect where I left my keys."
