Sorry, I ... (not know) the answer.
Ответ:
The correct answer is "don't know". The complete sentence is: "Sorry, I don't know the answer."
**Explanation:**
The sentence expresses a lack of knowledge. The phrase "not know" needs to be conjugated correctly to fit the sentence's grammar.
* "not know" is grammatically incorrect.
* "do know" implies knowledge, which contradicts the meaning of "sorry".
* "am not knowing" is a continuous tense, which is not appropriate here. We usually use simple present in that situations.
* "don't know" is the correct contraction of "do not know", expressing a lack of knowledge in simple present tense, fitting the context perfectly.
Thus, the correct answer is:
don't know
