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.

Painting makes me feel inspired because it's something I can get lost in. The paintbrush swirls on the canvas, while I daydream about what I'm going to write, or the assignment that I have to do. But I don't have to do them yet, right now, it's just me and my paints. It helps me to clear my head, and focus on all of the tasks ahead, without having to stress looking at a computer screen all day. It helps my never-ceasing imagination to flow, and solidify into something monumental.
I have no idea what I just did, but I hope that helped:/
