In this sentence, the context clue is that Gina often has to rest "while carrying her bag's extra weight." The blank should be a word that somehow conveys the weight of the bag or how much more difficult it makes hiking. Something that is large and heavy is bound to be a nuisance or burden. Thus, "burdensome" is the best word that can be used to complete this sentence.

The phrase "very small" tells us that the correct answer here must be “miniature.” The word “gigantic” means very big. “Gigantic” is an antonym of “miniature” because the two words have opposite meanings.
