Phileas Fogg is a name synonymous with world adventure! Which statement below is false for the real-life inspiration behind this memorable character?

He was one of the first Americans to travel through the interior of Japan.

He traveled by train from Cleveland to San Francisco

He was born in Exeter, on the river Exe

He visited Baghdad

Answer: He was born in Exeter, on the river Exe

Step-by-step explanation:

Phileas Fogg was the main character of the novel Around the World in Eighty Days (1872), by Jules Verne. This character was based on William Perry Fogg, a widely known American adventurer. William was born in Exeter, a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, in the United States; not on the city by the same name on the River Exe in England.
