The complete sentence is: Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year.
To determine which of these options is a complete sentence, we need to look for the presence of a subject and a predicate.
In the first option, "Although the weather is sometimes warm in early March," there is a subject ("the weather") and a predicate ("is sometimes warm in early March"). Therefore, this option is a complete sentence.
In the second option, "Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year," we have a subject ("Forecasters") and a predicate ("predicted six more weeks of winter this year"). This is also a complete sentence.
In the third option, "The old saying, 'In like a lion, out like a lamb,'" lacks a clear subject and a predicate. It appears to be a phrase rather than a complete sentence.
Therefore, the first two options are complete sentences, while the third option is not.
