Is "the telephone" accepted?
Hello everyone, I have just had a question that we had to fill in the blank about the listening about Alexander Graham Bell: Telephones
The script said that :" It’s hard to imagine a world without the telephone, and the person we have to thank for the telephone is Alexander Graham Bell, who invented it in 1876."
And in the exam, our teacher gave us a question: It’s hard to imagine a world without _______________
I filled it with the telephone, but she said that I had been wrong.
I need help
Thank you
Best wishes

Your teacher made a mistake. In a comprehension test, it is always correct to use the writer's words, if the writer got it right, and this one did.
