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.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

undeveloped, or time

Explanation:

The definition of primitive is old or ancient and since no other word means that, so for that reason, I would go with undeveloped, or time.

this question is a tricky one though because the words don't really describe primitive, but what you can get from the passage, is that even though the campsite had no running water they still had a great time and the scenery was beautiful.

Another thing is since it is ancient it took time to become ancient so that's what knocks out the answer choice undeveloped.

I am unsure about this answer, and don't have a very good explanation so, I wish you the best of luck with this question I just gave my best guest.
