Alicia has a fairly weak case to present to her supervisor. In order to be more persuasive, she should

put him in a good mood

Explanation:

As a normal human we know that when the chances  of a event are low to be in our favour, we shall choose the best method, and best time in order to increase the feasibility or possibility of letting that event occur.

Now, in the given case. Alicia is an employee and when she knows that the chances of  getting her demand successful are low, and her case stands weak, that is  chances of getting positive results are low.

Then, she should probably find the best mood of her supervisor so that the supervisor at-least do not completely neglect her views, and rather consider to affirm them.

If she doesn't find a good mood, she should probably try to put him in good  mood.
