This question is missing the options and the excerpt. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
He was in an amazing plight. His coat was dusty and dirty, and smeared with green down the sleeves; his hair disordered, and as it seemed to me greyer—either with dust and dirt or because its colour had actually faded. His face was ghastly pale; his chin had a brown cut on it—a cut half healed; his expression was haggard and drawn, as by intense suffering. For a moment he hesitated in the doorway, as if he had been dazzled by the light. Then he came into the room. He walked with just such a limp as I have seen in footsore tramps. We stared at him in silence, expecting him to speak.

Step-by-step explanation:
"The Time Machine" is a novel by H. G. Wells. At the beginning of the story, the narrator tells readers about the Time Traveller's appearance at a dinner where the narrator and several others were gathered. According to him, the Time Traveller looked tired, dirty, hungry, older, and hurt. No one knows this just yet, but he had been away, visiting the future in his time machine. From his appearance, we can tell he has gone through some hardships. Who knows what he encountered? But surely he suffered during the time he was in the future.
