Hidden verbs: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/words/avoid-hidden-verbs/

Referenced in https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/words/avoid-hidden-verbs/. We could try to detect words like “carry out”, “undertake”, “make”, and others mentioned there. We could also do a regular expression to look for words ending in -ing, -tion, -ment, or -sion that are between the words “the” and “of.”
