The correct answer is C.) The person is sneaky.

Explanation:

In texts or speech, it is common to use objects, animals, ideas, etc. to describe a different element, this occurs through the use of simile or metaphor that are two rhetorical figures that use comparison to describe a subject.

In the case of comparing a person as a weasel, the purpose of the author is not to state the person is a small mammal but to show the person has some feature weasels also do. According to this, it is likely the writer means "The person is sneaky" because weasels move sneakily and seem to be very furtive or sneaky and this is a feature people can also show.

Your answer is NOT (A) becuase weasel doesnt mean elegant. (B) would be the correct one. (C) They could have used a better word instead of sneaky. And finally (D) the person is not a small mammal. i mean possibly but there is no context.

How does george seem to tell about his handicapls?
S_A_V [24]

George Bergeron accepts his handicapping devices as part of his existence. He endures the "little mental handicap radio" in his ear, and the transmissions it sends to "keep people...from taking unfair advantage of their brains" as the price he must pay to live in a society in which "everybody was finally equal...every which way."

George actively resists Hazel's suggestion that he lighten the weight of the handicapping bag locked around his neck. Hazel contends that George could remove a few of the birdshot balls without any penalty, since he would not be in danger of being discovered if he reduced the burden slightly while he was at home. George has no interest in attempting such an adjustment to his officially-assigned handicap; in fact, he convincingly argues the importance of all persons following the laws and penalities in order to preserve the system for all citizens asking, "'The minute people start cheating on laws, what do you think happens to society?'...'Reckon it'd fall all apart,' said Hazel."
