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.

The morality that "Everyman" presents is that free will allows individuals to create their destiny, but that they are not controlled, nor dependent on that destiny, thus being free.
Explanation:
"The Somonyng of Everyman" is a play that was written to promote Christian values and as such, reflects that God does not have his children and servants as slaves, because God made humans to be free and to own their own destinies and decisions. With that, we can see that the protagonist, Everyman, who represents humanity, makes his own decisions, decides which paths to follow, who to face and who to make friends with. With that, Everyman demonstrates the domain of free will and the ability to build his destiny, but without depending on it and adapt as necessary.

I looked this question up and found the complete version online. The research question is:
"Why do high school students no spend enough time doing physical activity every day?"
Answer:
The statement which is the best evaluation of the research question is:
A. It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research.
Explanation:
The author of the research question states an opinion when he/she says that high school students do not spend enough time doing physical activity. We do not know if this is true, if it is a fact. Had the author stated the question is a different manner, perhaps even providing some data, then it may have had some factual validity. For example: "A new study shows that 95% of high school students only exercise once a week. What are the reasons behind that number?" That question would not be based on an opinion, but on a fact. It would be easier to come up with a research - an interview, for instance - that would actually find out the reasons why that happens.
