Question

if tele means \far away\ and gram means \something that is written,\ which is the best definition of the word telegram?
a scientific analysis of handwriting
a communication that is false
a sound that is far away
a message sent over a long distance

Explanation:

To determine the best definition of "telegram", we analyze the word's components: "tele" means "far away" and "gram" means "something that is written". Now we evaluate each option:

• "a scientific analysis of handwriting" is related to graphology, not telegram.
• "a communication that is false" refers to misinformation or a lie, not a telegram.
• "a sound that is far away" does not relate to the meaning of telegram.
• "a message sent over a long distance" aligns with the components of "telegram" (sending a written message over a far distance).

Answer:

a message sent over a long distance
