The man looks even older than his actual age of 70, as though he had "endured at least 40 years in the desert." "Desiccated" means dried out and "wizened" means old and withered. The trap answer "arid," which means dry, is a good word to describe a desert, but cannot describe a person. "Vigorous" and "hale" are both used to describe strong and healthy people, so they do not fit the intended meaning. "Fetid," which means foul smelling, does not fit the desired meaning.
