Answer:

The underlined words that appear below are the ones that Hamlet uses to express his opinion on how actors shouldn't exaggerate.

Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus; but use all gently: for in the very torrent, tempest, and—as I may say—whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance, that may give it smoothness.

Explanation:

Below you can find a definition (according to the context in which they appear) of the words that apply to describe Hamlet's opinion on the fact that actors shouldn't exaggerate.

  1. "gently"= use your hands calmly.
  2. "whirlwind" = something that spins out of control "Whirlwind of passion" So when actor is experiencing lots of emotions almost spinning out of control, he/she sould control them with temperance.
  3. "temperance" = the ability to control your words and behaviour
  4. "smoothness"= that it doesn't involve sudden changes. When the actor is able to control (temperance) their actions and passions (whirlwind of passion) his performance looks smoother.

The word acquire doesn't add meaning to the idea of actor overacting, since it simply means "to get something" to obtain", and that meaning is not connected with what is requested.
