Answer:

marked by or showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference

Explanation:

Supine means, among other things, 'exhibiting passivity'; therefore, 'lying supinely' would be correctly defined as 'showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference'.

The supporting evidence in the text:

The phrase<em> lying supinely on our backs</em> is linked by the coordinating conjunction <em>and</em>, (which is used to join equal ideas), to the following: <em>hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot.</em> It definitely suggests passivity and indifference.

Valentin [98]

Answer: B. an echo.

Explanation: In the given passage from William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" we can see the description of a battle in Pompey. The world in bold is "replication" and it refers to an echo. An echo is the repetition of a sound after the original sound is over, it is produced by the reflection of sound waves from a surface back to the listener. So "hear the replication of your sounds" is the same as "hear the echo of your sounds."
