Answer: the office manager analyzed the financial reports. A hidden verb is a verb turned into a noun. I've put the hidden verbs in parenthesis below. I given the revision for eliminating them to make the sentence clearer. the lab assistant gave a (demonstration) on how to create a suitable sample. [The lab assistant demonstrated how to create a suitable sample] the associate dean arrived at the (conclusion) that the computer labs are outdated. [The associate dean concluded that the computer labs are outdated.] the information technology department has a (requirement) for technical training. [The information technology department requires technical training.] do you have a (need) for a new laser printer? [Do you need a new laser printer?]
