One word can be used to successfully complete all three of the sentences below (as in, the same word fits all three sentences, though the meaning/nuance of the word could be different in each case).
Can you guess the missing word for these sentences?
They heard the news of their cancelled holiday with .................... hearts.
There is a .................... penalty for people who submit their final assignments after the due date.
Do you think Rebecca can manage to carry that .................... rucksack for an entire day of hiking?
Good luck finding the word!
