Detailed Instructions: 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.

For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
