उत्तर
The people became suspicious of the invisible man because of his strange and unusual ways. Everything about him was peculiarly strange. His appearance was glaringly unusual; his face covered with bandages, his goggles that he kept on his eyes all the time gave rise to suspicion in people's mind. Secondly, his behavior was also quite questionable. He remained reclusive and did not encourage people to come near him. His rudeness with Teddy, Fearenside, Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, Dr. Cuss, etc further provoked people to suspect him. Besides, there were many other things such as arrival of thousands of bottles, theft at the Vicarage, etc. also made people suspect the stranger.

They won’t eat peas, don’t like your bread -
For something in it crunches;
They gag on fat, the gravy’s gross,
They won’t eat grapes in bunches.
Tomatoes, onions, peppers, fish
Garlic nor cottage cheese;
Oh, it’s a dish uncommon rare
That truly seems to please.
No red sauce may the ice cream have,
“It’s bleeding,” they will say;
And gravely hand it to their mum
To take it to clean away
But let us speak of chocolate cake,
It must be frosted o’er;

And calmly ask for more.
Oh, I do so always love to eat
With picky little pests,
Whose parents joy to make them
The most undesirable guests!
