"You tell me how many choral societies there are in an Italian region, and I will tell you…how long it will take to get your health bills reimbursed…" What did sociologist Robert Putnam mean by that statement?

By this statement, Robert Putnam meant that the informal social ties promote more efficient bureaucracy than the formal sectors.

Explanation:

nouns refer to people (other than pronouns), places and things, whereas verbs describe actions and are usually part of the predicate of a sentence. finally, pronouns can work as nouns and identify the participants in speech.

in the example sentence, "will" is a verb part or auxiliary verb, "be" is an infinitive verb and "books" is a plural noun.
