Explanation:

1.

The definition "not thinking clearly; not able to use reason or good judgment" matches the word "irrational" (or "unreasonable", but "irrational" is more precise for the inability to use reason).

The description of an outdated long - distance messaging system with wires and electrical signals refers to the "telegraph".

For the definition "not normal or usual; not following usual rules; not regular in form/shape", the word "abnormal" is a good fit.

Answer:

irrational
