if you're like me and got confused on blank 1...

passage tells us
Lawyers "must not acquire literary or media rights" during representation but may acquire such rights after the legal matter is concluded.
This means the ability to acquire such rights isn't completely eliminated—it's merely postponed.
Purpose of the Rule:

To avoid a conflict of interest during the representation period, ensuring that the client’s legal representation remains effective.

Why "Restricted" Fits:
The word "restricted" implies a limitation (in this case, a temporary one during the legal matter).
The passage explicitly allows lawyers to acquire these rights after the case concludes, so the rule doesn’t fully eliminate this ability.

Why "Eliminated" Doesn’t Fit:
If lawyers were never allowed to acquire literary or media rights, the rule would need to be absolute and UNQUALIFIED.
But it's like a temporarily rule... the passage clearly states they can acquire these rights after representation is over, which contradicts "eliminated."



so takeaway:
1. when seeing two words that have similar meanings, think about what distinguishes them..
eliminated means totally gone
restricted means limited
relationship between them is restricted is eliminated 'qualified'
in this case are lawyer's rights totally gone? no. so restricted!!!
