The numerous procedures discussed are represented by words rather than symbols in a verbal expression of a mathematical expression.
For example, we say "the sum of

a

and

b

" when we are provided with

a + b

or "the product of

a

and

b

" when we see

a b

We leave the operands like the numbers and symbols intact, not the operators like

+

,

-

,

\times

, etc. We proceed step-by-step and work on explaining one operator at a time.
For this question, we do the following:
1.

p^{4} + 6 q

is "the sum of

p^{4}

and

6 q

".
2.

p^{4}

is "

p

raised to the fourth power".
3.

6 q

is "

6

times

q

" or "

6

multiplied by

q

".
Once all of the operators have been enlarged, they can be combined to form the final expression:
"The sum of

p

raised to the fourth power and

6

times

q

"
