Based on the information provided, the best options are-
Ringer:
A theatre troupe should cast actors with the most experience in stage acting in lead roles.Cast from the troupe: An organization should not alter regular practices unless they have failed to produce results.
Explaination-
1. Any actor would be eager to play a lead role at a festival this prestigious--> Simply highlights the desirability of the role, eliminate for Ringer and Cast from the troupe.
2. An organization should not alter regular practices unless they have failed to produce results--> This option choice is strongly inclined towards casting from the troupe, eliminate for ringer. It was mentioned that the typical strategy of casting from the troupe has helped them put on some of the most succesful show, thus this option choice is a strong one for casting from the troupe.
3. A theatre troupe should cast actors with the most experience in stage acting in lead roles--> This suggest casting a professional actor (Ringer). Eliminate for cast from the troupe. It was mentioned that “ringer”, is a professional actor with experience in stage and film and the troupe is an amateur theatre troupe. Thus, bringing in a ringer is strongly suggested here.
4. In casting any role, a theatre troupe must take care not to alienate its members--> This option choice is more inclined towards casting from the troupe, eliminate for ringer. This answer choice is not as strong as 2 as "must take care not to alienate its members" does not necesarily mean that not casting the lead role from the troupe will mean alienating all the members. The rest of the team members can have their roles.
5. Theatre troupes often deliver exceptional performances when they cast professional actors--> This suggest casting a professional actor (Ringer). Eliminate for cast from the troupe. This option choice is not as strong as often doesn't mean always, moreover in option 3 it is clearly given that "troupe should cast actors with the most experience in stage acting in lead roles", thus option 3 is more suggestive of bringing in a "ringer".

Ringer: There are 3 options in support of ringer. let's discuss them one by one.
1. Any actor would be eager to play a lead role at a festival this prestigious.
We are looking for an answer choice that tells us how bringing a ringer is a better idea for the troupe. This option doesnt fit. Eliminate.
2. A theatre troupe should cast actors with the most experience in stage acting in lead roles.
This option uses the phrase most experience. As the troupe is of amateur artists, this option fits right in. Also, the use of the word should makes it difficult to overlook this choice. Correct answer.
3. Theatre troupes often deliver exceptional performances when they cast professional actors.
The word often is a deal breaker. Eliminate.
Cast from the troupe: let's discuss the 2 options.
1. An organization should not alter regular practices unless they have failed to produce results.
"Typically, the troupe casts all roles from among its members, a strategy that has helped them put on some of their most successful shows." This line from the passage clearly supports this choice. Correct answer.
2. In casting any role, a theatre troupe must take care not to alienate its members.
This option does not fare well as this performane is a rare opportunity and hence the idea of having a ringer is considered. Also the word alienate is too strong. Eliminate.
