Word modified:he

The participial phrase here is seizing the weapon from the intruder. 
Participles look like verbs, and they are formed by adding -ing to the verb (for example, eating, sleeping, seizing, in this case, etc). They look the same as gerunds - however, whereas gerunds are used as nouns, participles are used as either adjectives, or adverbs. Here, the phrase is used as an adverb.

Given that the phrase is used as an adverb here, the word it modifies is ran. 
Adverbs modify verbs, meaning that they explain them in more details. Here, you can ask the question - How did he run quickly? And the answer would be - Seizing the weapon from the intruder. The phrase explains the verb.

PART A: Which sentence best describes the central idea of the passage?
Anni [7]

The notions of self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self all contribute to a person’s understanding of themselves.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Self-concept is a larger thought we have about what our identity is—truly, inwardly, socially, profoundly, and as far as whatever other viewpoints that make up what our identity is (Neill, 2005). We shape and control our self-idea as we develop, in light of the information we have about ourselves. It is multidimensional, and can be separated into these individual perspectives.

Self-concept is not self-esteem, although self-esteem may be a part of self-concept. Self-concept is the perception that we have of ourselves, our answer when we ask ourselves the question “Who am I?”

You came because you believed in the country, that it could be better. When there was chaos and fighting, you believed there could be peace and resolution. In the middle of a time that everyone gave up, you believed that there was still hope.
I hope this helped you out
