If given a one-time-use time machine, the respondent would visit a point in the future to see how problems in the present turned out or visit a meaningful moment from history. If able to talk to anyone living now, they would choose someone who could provide wisdom or perspective on addressing problems in the world today. If forced to give up a sense, they would choose smell because it is less critical for survival than other senses.
