For the first question, I can't give the exact answer because the two words "damage" and "harm" have so similar meanings (according to my OALD) => confused!!??!!

For the second question, I choose "have forgotten" because I think the fact that "I" forget to take the umbrella has already happened. However, my teacher said that "forgot" is the right answer here, so I want to see about ideas of some native speakers

1-- 'Damage' is the answer; 'harm' I suppose is also possible, but we more often use 'harm' of non-physical damage and it also often includes the idea of pain or defacement.

2-- Both B and C will work. B, I think, is more common.
