In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
One example: Passage: I submitted the hit. The hit was approved, and then I was paid.
Solution is here: approved
Explanation: There are three events in this passage (i) submission event ("submitted") (ii) the approval event ("approved"), and (iii) the payment event ("paid"). You can use any one of them as an output.

Now, solve this: Passage: A senior Palestinian official told AFP that the initiative announced by Blair would be worked out in coordination with the United States and be unveiled by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her expected visit to the region early next year. The Palestinian territories have been plunged into their deepest ever financial crisis because of a Western aid freeze imposed after Hamas came to power in March.
Solution:
told
