Explanation

'Already' is an adverb meaning 'by this time' or 'before now.' 'All ready' is a phrase meaning 'completely prepared.' In the sentence 'I have ___ said that we are ___ for the work,' the first blank needs an adverb (already) and the second needs the phrase indicating complete readiness (all ready).
