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.
