'mistake about mostly doubtful hour's suspense' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.

'end of programme' is the second definition.
'cliffhanger' can be an answer for 'programme' (cliffhanger is a kind of programme). I also know that 'end' relates to this answer.
