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: As talk on the streets swirled, talks between lawyers for Elian's Miami relatives and government officials crept to an uneventful close. U.S. Immigration officials postponed until Tuesday morning any action on revoking the boy's temporary permission to stay in the United States, which would allow federal officials to, ultimately, take the boy from his relatives' house and eventually return him to Cuba.
