Questions 1 to 5 refer to the following passage

Frank Abagnale started his career as a criminal in New York in the 1960s. He was just a teenager, but he

looked much older. When Abagnale was just 16, he created his identity as an airline pilot by putting on the

uniform of a pilot and using a fake ID. He never actually flew a plane, but he got on over 250 flights. He

could stay at hotels all over the world without paying for his room or meals because the hotel charged the

fees to the airline.

Abagnale opened accounts at different banks. Then he bought things in stores and paid for them with

checks from these accounts. The accounts didn’t have enough money in them to cover the checks, but the
stores didn’t know this. By the time they realized it, Abagnale was using a different bank. Abagnale was so

smart that he taught himself to forge fake checks and cashed them. In addition, he typed his own account

number on some deposit slips of a bank and put them back to the counter of the bank. When bank customers

used the deposit slips Abagnale made, their money went into his account.
