The buried verb phrase make a calculation can be revised to ___. Overuse of intensifiers sounds unprofessional. Which one of the following sentences best controls exuberance? a. The bank executive was pleased to be employed by a stable corporation. b. The bank executive was quite pleased to be so definitely employed by a stable corporation.

1) The correct answer is: calculate.

2) The correct answer is letter "A": The bank executive was pleased to be employed by a stable corporation.

Explanation:

Buried verbs are formed by one or more verbs making it a noun expression. Some people tend to bury verbs attempting to give a more professional sound to their speeches but they are adding more unnecessary words to their messages that make them less understandable.

Example:

Unions and management reached an agreement to continue talking. (Buried verb) Unions and management agreed to continue talking. (Unburied verb)

Thus:

"Make a calculation" (Buried verb) "Calculate" (Unburied verb)

The phrase that best controls exuberance using unburied verbs would be:

The bank executive was pleased to be employed by a stable corporation.
