In chapter 2 of the Lightening Thief, Percy sees 3 old ladies knitting a sock and one cuts a string looking in his direction which symbolizes Percy's lifeline is in danger. The ladies know he is a demigod in danger, and the mist keeps him from knowing this. The mist conceals magic. Later as the book goes on strange events lead to a realization that he is a demigod.
The predicate is the very and everything that follows after it, which could include adverbs, prepositional phrases, and other parts of speech. For example, "The dog ran across the street to the neighbor's house". Find the verb (the action or in your case, a linking verb such as is, are, was, wear, am). In my example, the verb is 'ran'. So the predicate is:
-ran across the street to the neighbor's house
For your sentence, the predicate is -was very strong.
Your answer is yes initially is a sequence word.
