What exactly do you need?<span />
...What is the word in italics?

It should be heavy, because ponderous means with a lot of weight(basically).
If it was sharp why would she pick it up? If it was slippery, why would she make her neighbor pick it up? If it was too heavy for her to remove, she would go get help from her neighbor.

Answer: Thomas Malthus, who studied population growth.
Thomas Malthus was an English scholar. He is particularly well-known because of his studies on population growth. He realized that, when food production in a nation improved, population tended to go up. However, this change did not last long, as population growth restored the original per capita production level. Therefore, instead of using surplus for improving standards of living, humans tend to use it to increase population. These conclusions were carefully studied by Darwin, and they helped him develop his own theories on natural selection.
