Teacher: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.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Passage: For the Eagles the game was the first of a tough three-game road trip against division rivals. In other games, Arizona surprised Seattle 27-21, Buffalo beat the New York Jets 31-13, Minnesota downed Detroit 30-20, Tennessee topped Houston 26-20 in overtime, and Green Bay beat San Francisco 30-19.
