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 right-wing Daily Mail struck a similar note, talking of "Blair's surrender" and "spectacular U-turn" arguing that "in return for the gigantic cash handover, he was set to get virtually nothing." The conservative Daily Telegraph said he "had performed his biggest climbdown over Europe" by giving up part of the rebate "without winning any commitment from France on early reform of farm subsidies".
