Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.
The invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications industry. Although Samuel B.Morse succeeded in making the invention useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that the first telegraph line of consequence was constructed. By 1860 more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people east of the Rockies. The following year, San Francisco was added to the network.
The national telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West and contributed to the rapid expansion of the railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and routes. Furthermore, the extension of the telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam–driven rotary printing press by Richard M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism. Where the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on hand–operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of information a newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The establishment of the Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the advent of a new era in journalism.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the growth of the communications industry?
A. Morse invented the telegraph in 1837
B. People could use the telegraph in San Francisco in 1861
C. The telegraph led to the invention of the rotary printing press
D. The telegraph helped connect the entire nation.

Phát minh của máy điện báo đã sinh ra ngành công nghiệp truyền thông. Mặc dù Samuel B.Morse đã thành công trong việc làm cho phát minh trở nên hữu ích vào năm 1837, nhưng mãi đến năm 1843, dòng điện báo đầu tiên của hệ quả mới được chế tạo. Vào năm 1860 hơn 50.000 dặm đường kết nối mọi người về phía đông của Rockies. Năm sau, San Francisco đã được thêm vào mạng.
Mạng điện báo quốc gia củng cố mối quan hệ giữa Đông và Tây và góp phần mở rộng nhanh chóng các tuyến đường sắt bằng cách cung cấp một phương tiện hiệu quả để giám sát lịch trình và tuyến đường. Hơn nữa, việc mở rộng điện báo, kết hợp với việc phát minh ra máy in quay bằng hơi nước của Richard M. Hoe vào năm 1846, đã cách mạng hóa thế giới báo chí. Trường hợp việc kinh doanh thu thập tin tức phụ thuộc vào thư và trên các máy ép vận hành bằng tay, điện báo đã mở rộng lượng thông tin mà một tờ báo có thể cung cấp và cho phép báo cáo kịp thời hơn. Việc thành lập Associated Press như một dịch vụ dây trung tâm vào năm 1846 đánh dấu sự ra đời của một kỷ nguyên mới trong ngành báo chí.
