yeah men!! That's exactly how I got the spelling too.. Primary school Marching song.

Hipopotamust

No be only must...

T-H-I-S is the correct spelling of this! The question is quite straight forward! The options provided are simply distractions.

Option 'a' is correct.

I remember we use to sing with the spelling in my Primary School days.

HIP… For the Hip! For the Hippopo! Popo! For the Hippopo and Tamus….. For the Hippopotamus! Hippopotamus!!!

lol reminds me I use to say father hippopotamus

Correct options are: "a" and "c"

Way back in Nursery and Primary school, we used to do song mimes to help us remember the spelling of long complex words. This word was one of them.
Using my song mime thought me by my teacher in 1981 and '82
Hippopotamus.it's the correct spelling and my phone Grammer checker confirmed it.

😁😁😁😁

I recited the poem first before I got the answer easily

Hippopotamus

I still know the spelling thanks to the primary school rhyme we learned as kids.

HIP for the hip, for the hippopo

POPO, for the hippopo

And TAMUS for the hippopotamus.

HIPPOPOTAMUS!!

I had to sing the song to remember the spelling. Never underestimate the importance of early childhood education. That's the foundation of learning.

Lol…A and C
