Questions 1-3 are about the following passage.
Babe Ruth is one of the greatest and the most popular American baseball players that ever lived. He was one of the first five players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Though over sixty years have passed since his death, almost every kid in the U.S. today grows up knowing his name.
He was born in 1895 as George Herman Ruth, Jr. in Maryland and grew up without a mother. At the age of seven, his father sent him to St. Mary's, a Catholic school where Babe Ruth lived for the next twelve years of his life. There he learned to play baseball but was isolated from his family.
He started playing in the majors as a pitcher when he was only nineteen years old. He was very successful and before long he was traded to the Boston Red Sox. There he won a World Series in 1915 but fame as a hitter was still a long way off. In 1919, Babe Ruth was sold to the New York Yankees for 125 ,000 dollars cash and three 25,000 dollar notes. He then started to become the legend that everyone knows about today. By the end of his career, Babe Ruth had hit 714 home runs and had scored 2,213 runs.
