Definition: 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.
Input: Passage: Despite signs of ongoing distrust, the remaining difficulties were ostensibly swept away by Tuesday's vote which gave Savimbi the right to regular consultations with the president and members of the government and the right to publish messages in the official press. Several deputies from the ruling MPLA have criticised the "excessive powers" granted to Savimbi although they followed the party's advice to approve the law.
