The options available are:
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
Considering the available options, the statement which is false for the real-life inspiration behind this memorable character is that "He was born in Exeter, on the River Exe"
- This is because the real-life character of Phileas Fogg is Perry William Fogg. Even though Perry Fogg was born in Exeter, he was not born on the River Exe.
- He, however, traveled by train from Cleveland to San Francisco. This is evident in his privately published letter in 1872 as Round the World, where he stated how he traveled by train from Cleveland to San Francisco via Salt Lake City and later had an interview with Brigham Young.
- He was also considered as one of the first Americans to travel through the interior of Japan which is evident in his travel letters on how he boarded a Pacific Mail Steamer from San Francisco to Japan and some other Asian countries in 1868.
- He was also known to have visited Baghdad which is evident in his other book titled Arabistan, or The Land of the Arabian Nights, and detailed his travels through Egypt, Arabia, and Persia to Baghdad.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "He was born in Exeter, on the River Exe"
