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: "The government should make its decision in accordance with the general interests of the country and not the Refounded Communists," he said. The centre-left coalition's dependence on the Communists' support in the lower house was amply demonstrated early this month when their opposition to the deployment of Italian troops in Albania nearly brought down the government.
