The basic difference between 'alone' and 'lonely' is that, when you are 'lonely', you feel unhappy about it.

Hi Cris

In addition to what Conchita mentioned, the word lonely can only be used as an adjective.

The word alone can be used as either an adjective or an adverb. In the test sentence you need an adverb.
