Answer 1

Based on the given passage above, when Bertie says he feels like a "badly wrapped brown-paper parcel" he means that he feels tired and out of sorts. Therefore, the correct answer of the given question above would be the first option: tired and out of sorts. 

Answer 2

   Bertie is describing  subjectively his feelings in the morning, with a connotational meaning in "badly wrapped brown-paper parcel."; that is not a literal description, is a metaphoric referential that can be interpreted in the context as meaning that he feels tired and out of sorts, comparing himself in the morning to the paper in its appearance.
