No hope that they are alive / living

Dear teachers,

Hello.

My workbook asks me to choose one word.

"There is no hope that they are alive / living."

I would choose "alive",

but "living" is also correct gramatically and in the meaning,

isn't it?

Would you crossout "living" here, or are both good English sentences?

Warmest regards,

Both seem fine, and it is also obvious that 'alive' is the usual choice.
