Question

mrs. halls visitor was seated in the armchair before the fire, dozing it would seem, with his bandaged head drooping on one side. the only light in the room was the red glow from the fire - which lit his eyes like adverse railway signals, but left his downcast face in darkness - and the scanty vestiges of the day that came in through the open door. everything was shadowy, and indistinct to her, the more so since she had just been lighting the bar lamp, and her eyes were dazzled. but for a second it seemed to her that the man she looked at had an enormous mouth wide open - a vast and incredible mouth that swallowed the whole of the lower portion of his face. it was the sensation of a moment: the white - bound head, the monstrous goggle eyes, and this huge yawn below it. then he stirred, started up in his chair, put up his hand. she opened the door wide, so that the room was lighter, and she saw him more clearly, with the muffler held up to his face just as she had seen him hold the serviette before. the shadows, she fancied, had tricked her.
which detail from the text best shows there are other unusual things about the man?

• the white bound head
• monstrous goggle eyes
• the shadows
• held up to his face

Explanation:

The text notes Mrs. Hall initially thinks she sees an enormous mouth, then realizes shadows tricked her. However, the "monstrous goggle eyes" (paired with his bandaged head and habit of covering his face) is an unusual, persistent detail that hints at other oddities about him, unlike the temporary shadow trick or his bandages/face-covering which are already established visible quirks. The other options either refer to a shadow illusion, a single action, or a visible bandage that doesn't imply hidden unusual traits as strongly.

Answer:

monstrous goggle eyes
