Explanation:
Buried verbs are the verbs that are needlessly converted into wordy noun expressions.
In the first statement, the verb’ assume’ is needlessly converted into ‘make the assumption’. In the second option ‘engaged in the preparation’ instead of ‘prepare’ and in the fourth option, ‘take an action’ instead of ‘act’ are used. Hence all these sentences contain buried verbs. But in third sentence there is no needless conversion of verb into noun and it does not contain buried verb.

The two sentences that support the main idea are "She planned what she would say to Dr. Ferlinger...," and "O'Brien... rapped her fingertips impatiently."
<h3>What is a main idea?</h3>
The main idea of a passage or literary work is the most important topic presented in it. Here, according to the instructions in the question, the main idea is that someone is frustrated and in a rush to get to a doctor's appointment.
Two sentences that support that main idea by revealing those two pieces of information - someone's rush and going to the doctor's - are:
- She planned what she would say to Dr. Ferlinger when she arrived at his office.
- O'Brien exhaled a sigh, and rapped her fingertips impatiently.
O'Brien is rapping her fingers impatiently because she is in a rush, and waiting for the train is quite annoying. And she is going to see Dr. Ferlinger. Therefore, the correct answers are options B and D.
