Correct Answer: Alice was inclined to


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The phrase Alice was inclined to correctly convey the intended meaning. "Inclined to" expresses a natural tendency or disposition towards a certain behaviour or attitude. In this context, it indicates that Alice is naturally inclined or likely to be sympathetic rather than critical.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He was pleased to see them, especially as Alice was inclined to be sympathetic rather than critical.
