Explanation

Ponderous means heavy, weighty, or lumbering in movement. It can describe both physical heaviness and something that is slow or labored. Weighty directly captures this meaning of heaviness and substance. The distractors graceful and light are opposites of the concept, while partiality is unrelated to weight or heaviness.
