Why not theatrical for the second blank? theatrical essentially means dramatic ie. "big" role compared to the original vapid ingénue that the actress used to be doing?



Hi There!

We do not have theatrical as an option choice. Also dramatic does not also implies big.

Hope this helps!

The actress was desperate to (i) ___________ the part in the new Michel Gondry film. It was (ii) ___________ role, with lots of onscreen time and a number of long scenes that would allow the actress, usually cast as a vapid ingénue or bombshell, to truly show her dramatic range.

Since we it was a role with lots of onscreen time and a number of long scenes that would allow the actress to truly show her dramatic range, it must be a plum role. We have no information to choose grave, and are thus very easily eliminated, along with an agnostic, for the same reasons.

We can eliminate ascertain because she already knew about the scope of the role.

"ensure the part" does not make grammatical sense, therefore, "land the part" is the correct expression.

The correct choice is plum and land.
