Ways to say "become"

The "correct" verb required for this sentence is "se hizo": "Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele."  I put "se convirtió" because it's a major change of her position in public life.  "Hacerse" is described as a change of profession!

Hola Arthur

The only possible correct answer is "se hizo", because to use "se convirtió" you need the preposition "en"

I have nevertheless added a note to the lesson about using "hacerse" for becoming famous, to clarify that even though we are not talking exactly about profession, ideology or religion as explained in the lesson, we often use "hacerse" in this context. I hope this helps.

Saludos
