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.
