Comprehension Passage

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

In the era of the 1920s, there lived a young man known as Edwin who was just nineteen years old. Despite his young age, he had already delved into a challenging and dangerous existence. He had served as a sailor treading the Atlantic, experienced being an outlaw and a border patroller, a manual labourer in a steel factory, a penniless wanderer, and a vagrant. He had travelled exhaustively around Europe and Africa, hitched rides on cargo ships, evading and combating ship crew and officials, acquainting himself with the harsh realities of destitution, peril, and adversity, including a forty-day penal servitude.

Even though he did negligible work, he harboured an immense passion for music and instruments, and although gold eluded him in his travels, these passions were about to grant him tremendous wealth. Having returned from Africa after two years, inflicted with malaria and not a single dime in his possession, he was, nevertheless, rich in experiences. He began to compose melodies drawn from the diverse cultures he had visited and the extraordinary individuals he had encountered. After several months of rigorous practice and scarcity, he met with triumph. Record stores began to exhibit his African-inspired music. Before long, he was a renowned figure. Throughout the subsequent eighteen years, he produced seventy albums and amassed and expended a fortune. He passed away in 1940.

How was Edwin able to transform his life experiences into a successful career in music?

1
By using his experience as a sailor.
2
By composing melodies inspired by the different cultures he encountered.
3
By producing seventy albums derived from his time as a laborer in a steel factory.
4
By thriving on his indefinite passion for manual labor.
