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</em> <em>on our backs</em> is linked by the coordinating conjunction <em>and</em>, (which is used to join <u>equal</u> 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.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

I take it that I can choose multiple options here:)

Let's look at all the options:

Use direct quotations from experts on the topic.

-yes! this is a good idea. Experts are reliable and quoting them will support your thesis.

Link relevant portions of your paper to blog sites on the same topic.

-no, I don't think so: unless the blog sites are by experts, they don't have to be reliable.

Discuss the topic with your classmates and include their opinions.

-in general, no, since your classmates are not experts on the topic. Except when they are: if, for example your research paper researches social interaction between them

.Obtain more information on the topic from published sources

-yes, a very good idea!

Include paraphrased text from authoritative sources.

-yes, a very good idea! These sources could be for example experts in the field!

I’m at least 150 words, explain Orwell’s use of figurative and connotative language and the ways in which his language affects t
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Orwell makes extensive use of animal sounds and movements to describe action; his figurative usage turns ordinary description into onomatopoeia. Animal characters are "stirring" and "fluttering" in movement while "cheeping feebly" and "grunting" communications. Old Major, the father figure of the animal's revolution, sings the rallying song "Beasts of England." Orwell describes the answering chorus in a frenzy of onomatopoeic imagery: "the cows lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the ducks quacked it." As the ruling class of pigs becomes more human, Orwell subtly drops barnyard verbiage and instead uses "said" for dialogue attributions.
