A. endeared / kindly: "Endeared" means to make someone fond of or attached to something. It is the opposite of "alienated," which means to be isolated or estranged. So, option A is the opposite in meaning.

B. confronted / ill disposed: "Confronted" means to face or address an issue directly. It does not convey the idea of being isolated or separated, so option B is not the correct choice.

C. separated / opposed: "Separated" is similar in meaning to "alienated," but the second part, "opposed," does not match the idea of being sympathetic. Option C is partially correct in terms of separation but is not a perfect match.

D. estranged / well disposed: "Estranged" is very close in meaning to "alienated," as it implies being emotionally or socially distanced. "Well disposed" means to be favorably inclined or friendly. Option D is the most suitable choice as it captures the idea of separation (estranged) and the initial sympathy (well disposed).

So, the correct answer is D. estranged / well disposed.
