weights
C
both glasses and weights
D
none
Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -Hazel’s handicap makes her intelligence very average and she can only think in short bursts. George has a physical handicap in his hear that sends sounds every 20 seconds that make him forget what he was thinking, because he is very smart.

Detailed explanation-3: -His parents have an internal conflict. George Bergeron is too intelligent, which then is force to wear handicaps. Hazel has no handicaps because she isn’t that bright. They both forgot about Harrison’s death.

Detailed explanation-4: -Large headphones, instead of a small earpiece, as a mental handicap. Thick glasses to blind him and give him headaches. Scrap metal strapped to his body amounting to 300 pounds. A red rubber ball he must wear on his nose, no eyebrows, and black caps for his teeth as appearance handicaps. 18-Nov-2021
