Clemenceau, not Clemencau.

Also, Benigni was the main actor (and director & co-writer) of La vita è bella, not the main character. The main character was Guido Orefice.

The questions are challenging enough to be entertaining but the English is not good enough. For example: Benigni was the actor, not the character; the 4 tennis majors are called “grand slam”, not “big slam”.

I think the question about the inventor of the telegraph is not worded correctly for the answer it’s looking for. Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless telegraph, not just the telegraph. Samuel Morse is credited with inventing the telegraph, which he patented in 1844. Marconi patented the first wireless telegraph in 1896.
