Question

If a telegraph operator received a message that was three short dots, three long dashes, and then three short dots again; and this pattern was repeated, what would this message read? (1 point)
The message would read, DOD repeated.
The message would read, SOS repeated.
The message would read, ABC repeated.
The message would read, CDC repeated.

Answer 1

The message described, consisting of three short dots (· · ·), three long dashes (− − −), and then three short dots again (· · ·), corresponds to the Morse code for "SOS." Each element represents:

- · · · (three short dots) = S
- − − − (three long dashes) = O
- · · · (three short dots) = S

Therefore, the message would read, **SOS repeated.**
