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 main Russian car, popularly known as the Volga, costs just a third of the price of even a relatively modest German Audi to manufacture. Add extras, however, such as a foreign air-conditioning system and so on and the car could cost up to 57,000 dollars compared to 22,000 to 28,000 for the typical models favoured by the government.
