A conversation between User and Assistant. The user asks a question, and the Assistant solves it. The assistant first thinks about the reasoning process in the mind and then provides the user with the answer.
User: A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie. You meet 3 inhabitants: William, Alexander, and Ella. As William put it, "Ella is a knave or Alexander is a knave". According to Alexander, "If William is a knave then Ella is a knave". Ella remarked, "If Alexander is a knight then William is a knave". So who is a knight and who is a knave? Show your work in <think> </think> tags. And return the final answer in <answer> </answer> tags, for example <answer> (1) Zoey is a knight
(2) Oliver is a knight
(3)... </answer>.

 Alexander cannot be a knight, because this would contradict the claim of William that Ella is a knave or Alexander is a knave.
 Alexander cannot be a knave, because this would contradict the false claim of their own that If William is a knave then Ella is a knave.
 We have exhausted all possibilities for Alexander, so let us go back and reconsider Ella.
