Correct Answer: eager to embark on


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

The correct phrase "eager to embark on" is a more idiomatic expression. It conveys the intended meaning that Bonaparte was not enthusiastic about participating in a serious Irish expedition. The preposition "on" is commonly used after "embark" to indicate the beginning of a journey or undertaking.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Bonaparte, unlike Hoche, was not eager to embark on a serious Irish expedition."
