题目：

The passage suggests that the morse code system was created to:

A. speed up the telegraph's transmission time

B. provide a way to encrypt messages

C. allow for two-way communication via telegraph lines

D. make telegraph messages easier to send

答案解析：

The correct answer is A, \"speed up the telegraph's transmission time.\" The passage describes how, prior to the morse code system, telegraph messages were transmitted using a complex system of varying lengths of pulses for each character. This made sending and receiving messages very time-consuming. Samuel Morse's invention of the morse code system allowed for a much simpler, standardized system of transmitting messages, significantly reducing transmission time.
