Explanation:

1. When grunting while lifting something heavy, the effort often causes tension in the throat and head area as we may clench our jaws and strain our neck - related muscles.
2. When giving a big sigh after dropping something heavy, it is a more relaxed, breathing - related action which is typically felt in the chest and stomach as the diaphragm moves.

For the synonyms:

• "Rough" can mean having an uneven surface like "bumpy", not smooth like "uneven", and coarse in texture.
• "Clear" can mean obvious in meaning, transparent in appearance, and distinct in perception.
• "Heavy" implies having a lot of weight, being dense in composition, and substantial in amount or size.
• "Light" can refer to being bright in illumination, pale in color, and slight in weight or intensity.
