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: Many workers were advised to operate from home and some companies, such as telecoms firm Reach, temporarily relocated operations to outlying districts, leaving only a skeleton staff for the duration of the six-day meeting. Instead of office workers crowding the sidewalks of Wan Chai's Gloucester Road, groups of police stood ready in case protests turned violent, part of a massive security operation involving 9,000 officers staged for the WTO meeting.
