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: US President George W. Bush warned against expectations he will lay out plans for "a graceful exit" from Iraq, as news reports Friday said the independent commission looking into Iraq policy will call for a 2008 withdrawal of US combat troops. The White House has ordered a government-wide reassessment of US policy in Iraq amid soaring sectarian violence, fears of all-out civil war, and mounting domestic pressure to bring US troops home after opposition Democrats took control of the US Congress in the November 7 elections.
