Gregory Caldwell · Answer 1

I believe the correct answer: is it suggests that one opponent is much smaller than the other.

In this excerpt from the newspaper "A David and Goliath Battle Rages Over Sunshine Park", the mentioning the David and Goliath suggest that one of the opponents in much smaller than the other. This Biblical parallel alludes that even If regarded as the "small opponent", Chelsea Spree has an opportunity to win, just as David had.

Madeleine Montgomery · Answer 2

One opponent is huge and stronger and the other is much smaller and conventionally weaker.

David was a regular human who took on a Goliath--a giant with insane strength. This excerpt describes Chelsea as the David because she is just one person while the Trumont Corporation (the Goliath) has a ton of money and a strong legal team.
