b. describe why so few people are interested in pursuing a career as an actor
c. emphasize that for most actors, acting is a career choice, not a path to stardom
d. argue that with the correct work ethic, an actor can expect to achieve celebrity

Explanation:

The quote by Ilene Starger contrasts focusing on work/process (positive) with aiming for fame (likely to lead to disappointment). Option C aligns as it emphasizes acting as a career (work/process - related) rather than a path to stardom (fame). Option A is incorrect as there's no mention of criticizing for lack of skills.

Answer:
