In sentence A, the adjectives "really" and "complete" correctly modify "late" and "lost track of time," respectively. The adverb "completely" correctly modifies the verb "lost." In sentences B and C, the adjectives and adverbs are incorrect. "Real" should be "really," and "complete" should be "completely" in sentence C. In sentence B, "real" should be "really" and there is no adverb to modify the verb "lost."
