Marcio, you wrote, Inalda makes a living as a bank manager
a) "Inalda is a bank manager"
b) "Inalda works as a bank manager"
c) "Inalda works in the capacity of bank manager"

Could "Inalda manages a bank" possibly serve as a substitute for (a), (b) and (c)?

B and C work for e-prime without changing the meaning. You can say Ialda manages a bank. On b, c, and your last statement, I would want to know which part of that bank she manages. Keep up the great work
