Giải thích chi tiết đề IELTS Reading History of telegraph in communication

Questions 27–32 (YES / NO / NOT GIVEN)​

27. In the research of the French scientist, metal lines were used to send messages. → NO​

  • Đoạn 1 nói về Jean-Antoine Nollet:

    “pieces of iron wire connecting them” → dây kim loại chỉ dùng để dẫn điện cho thí nghiệm, không phải để gửi thông điệp.

  • Việc “signaling over long distances” chỉ được đề cập như khả năng trong tương lai, không phải điều ông đã làm.

➡️ Câu khẳng định nói ông dùng dây kim loại để gửi tin → sai.


28. People increasingly hoped to explore ways of long-distance communication in the late eighteenth century. → YES​

  • Đoạn 2:

    “After the introduction of the European semaphore lines in 1792, the world’s desire to further its ability to communicate from a distance only grew.”

  • “1792” = cuối thế kỷ 18

  • “desire … only grew” = ngày càng mong muốn

➡️ Hoàn toàn đồng ý với tác giả.


29. Using Morse Code to send message needed special personnel to first simplify the message. → NO​

  • Đoạn 3:

    “At first, it was imagined that only a few highly skilled encoders would be able to use it but it soon became clear that many people could become proficient in Morse code.”

  • Không có việc phải đơn giản hóa thông điệp trước

  • Và cũng không cần nhân sự đặc biệt về lâu dài

➡️ Câu hỏi bịa thêm thông tin → NO.


30. Morse was a famous inventor before he invented the code. → NOT GIVEN​

  • Bài chỉ nói:

    “Samuel F. B. Morse completed a working version of the electrical recording telegraph”

  • Không nói ông nổi tiếng trước đó hay không

➡️ Không đủ thông tin → NOT GIVEN.


31. Water was significant to early telegraph repeater stations on the continent. → YES​

  • Đoạn về Úc:

    “There had to be telegraph repeater stations every few hundred miles… the staff obviously had to have a supply of water.”

  • “obviously had to have a supply of water” = rất quan trọng
