Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

My friend's brother, Alex started a journey to cycle across the world when he was just 15 years old. Some people didn't think he could do it because of his age, but he didn't give up. At 18, he finished his trip, and became the youngest person to do such a worldwide bike ride alone.

Alex was born in Canada in 1996. His parents loved to travel on bikes. They lived in different places before settling in France. Therefore, Alex soon loved cycling like his parents. At 13, Alex saved money and bought his first own bike. He rode it all around France and nearby countries with his parents for the first time. A trip to Spain made him dream of biking around the world alone.

In 2011, Alex started to his world bike trip. Even though he was young and some didn't believe in him, he kept going. It was a journey full of beautiful landscapes, cultures, and difficulties. But Alex showed everyone, and himself that age was just a number. Dreams could come true if we try for it. He finished his big ride in December 2018.   

Today, Alex's love for cycling hasn't changed. He lives in a lovely coastal town in Canada with his wife, Sophie. They share a love for bikes, adventure, and the open road. Many people start their journey when they hear his story.
