Explanation:

The word "bastion" means a fortified place or a stronghold. In the context of the sentence, the high ground east of the river is a strong position that the army would want to defend. Other words like "disarray" (confusion), "atrophy" (wasting away), "consummate" (perfect), "glean" (collect), "concord" (agreement), "frenetic" (frantic), "flotsam" (debris), "exigency" (urgency), and "asseverate" (assert) do not fit the context of a place to be defended.

Answer:
