As formas verbais que completam adequadamente o texto são:

E - Hadn't really thought / had been trying

Past Perfect

Para preencher a primeira lacuna, devemos usar o Past Perfect, usado para se referir à primeira de duas ações que ocorreram no passado. Ambas estão no passado, mas a ação de (não) pensar ocorreu antes da ação de contar (ele nunca havia pensado nisso antes de ela ter falado a ele sobre isso).

Por isso, temos que usar had + particípio do verbo principal, ou seja, had thought (particípio de "think").

Como é uma frase negativa, usamos had not thought ou hadn't thought.

Past perfect continuous

Para preencher a segunda lacuna, devemos usar o Past perfect continuous, pois se refere a uma ação que estava ocorrendo no passado (ele estava tentando evitar pensar nisso) antes de outra também no passado.

A estrutura é had + been + verbo principal com -ing. Por isso, "had been trying".
