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: Monday's broadcast came at the same time as a Muslim woman in a full-face veil delivered an alternative Christmas message on Britain's Channel 4 television. The woman, known only as Khadijah said she felt more "liberated" since she began covering her face with the niqab 10 years ago and people should be more tolerant.
