Explanation:

A context clue is something offered by the author, directly or indirectly, that helps readers understand the meaning of a certain word. Context clues usually come in the same sentence as the word they refer to or in a neighboring sentence.

There are several types of context clues, but the one used in the sentence we are analyzing here is providing a definition or an explanation of lethargic.
