TASK DEFINITION: You will be given a context and a verb separated with a newline character, and you have to answer if the given verb can be anchored in time or not. We say a verb can be anchored in the real timeline if and only if a verb happened in the past, is happening now, or is guaranteed to happen in the future. The output should be "Yes" if the verb can be anchored in time and "No" otherwise.
PROBLEM: Elian's father, his four grandparents and his great-grandmother began weeping as they sat in a row of chairs facing the stage as the group sang of the boy's mother. Gonzalez looked particularly distraught, his eyes red from (crying).
Verb: crying

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: A total of $650,000, meanwhile, is being offered for information leading to the arrest of Kopp, who is charged with gunning down Dr. Barnett Slepian last fall in his home in Buffalo, N.Y. Slepian provided legal abortions in western New York state. The standard $50,000 reward for information leading to a listed fugitive's capture comes on top of a $500,000 reward (announced) earlier by Attorney General Janet Reno, plus a $100,000 award offered previously by the FBI.
Verb: announced

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Such a decision would allow the U.S. government to push for the 6-year-old boy's swift reunion in Washington with his waiting father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who wants to return to Cuba. He has said he will (wait) out appeals by the Miami relatives seeking an asylum hearing for Elian before the same court -- but only if he has custody of his son.
Verb: wait

SOLUTION:
No
