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: With the political implications so strong, it's unlikely the case of Elian Gonzalez will be closed quickly, said Richard Nuccio, a former Clinton administration Cuba adviser. ``With two members of Congress representing Elian's family's constituency, I don't see how Elian could be returned by the federal government without it going through the court system,'' Nuccio said.
