Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the root "tele" in "telegraph", we analyze word roots. The root "tele" (from Greek) typically means "far" or "distant". "Telegraph" refers to sending messages over a distance, so "far away" matches the meaning of "tele". "Hear or listen" relates to "audio" roots (like "phon"), and "fast" is unrelated to "tele".

Answer:

far away
