Answer:The answer to your question would be that the definition that best identifies and explains the function of the word "tying" as it is used in this sentence is the following one: In the selected sentence, the word "tying" is a verbal that functions as an adverb.

A verbal is a word formed from a verb but functioning as a different part of speech. "Tying his shoe" is a participle phrase. In fact, it is present participle phrase, as it is created from the form of a verb used with the verb to be as an auxiliary verb (progressive tense). Removing the auxiliary verb and using the -ing form of the main verb produces a present participle.  In this case the participle is functioning as an adverb because it is telling something about the manner in which Garrett prevented an embarrassing fall. He did this tying his shoe. You can tell this by asking the following question: How did Garrett prevent the embarrassing fall? Tying his shoe.

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms.

Since celebrities are constantly in the public eye, there is a debate over what their responsibilities as role models should be.
Ludmilka [50]
<span>Celebrities should use their status as role models to bring attention to social issues.

The center of a cluster web for an essay should contain the main idea of the essay. From the essay prompt, we know that the essay should address the issue of whether or not celebrities have a responsibility to act as role models. The statement in the center of the cluster web should be a broad statement that answers the question without any specific evidence. The evidence goes in connecting bubbles. The only broad statement that addresses the essay prompt is the one that states: </span><span>Celebrities should use their status as role models to bring attention to social issues.</span>
