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.

Answer:

He feels worthless and dehumanized.  He feels like his life is not worth living.  

Explanation:

He no longer has any way to move about as he did before and he is in pain.  He does die.

You could write this from two perspectives:

He is insane and his mind drove him to believe he is a bug.  

He honestly had a physical change and therefore he dies since he feels he cannot do anything anymore and he cannot work to take care of his family.
