Richard, the duke of Gloucester, speaks in a monologue addressed to himself and to the audience. After a lengthy civil war, he says, peace at last has returned to the royal house of England. Richard says that his older brother, King Edward IV, now sits on the throne, and everyone around Richard is involved in a great celebration. But Richard himself will not join in the festivities. He complains that he was born deformed and ugly, and bitterly laments his bad luck. He vows to make everybody around him miserable as well. Moreover, Richard says, he is power-hungry, and seeks to gain control over the entire court. He implies that his ultimate goal is to make himself king.
Working toward this goal, Richard has set in motion various schemes against the other noblemen of the court. The first victim is Richard’s own brother, Clarence. Richard and Clarence are the two younger brothers of the current king, Edward IV, who is very ill and highly suggestible at the moment. Richard says that he has planted rumors to make Edward suspicious of Clarence.
Clarence himself now enters, under armed guard. Richard’s rumor-planting has worked, and Clarence is being led to the Tower of London, where English political prisoners were traditionally imprisoned and often executed. Richard, pretending to be very sad to see Clarence made a prisoner, suggests to Clarence that King Edward must have been influenced by his wife, Queen Elizabeth, or by his mistress, Lady Shore, to become suspicious of Clarence. Richard promises that he will try to have Clarence set free. But after Clarence is led offstage toward the Tower, Richard gleefully says to himself that he will make sure Clarence never returns.
Answer:
In the park near the StarForce High school, I am almost done with my senior year. As night had begun to fall and the misty forest had started to fade away. Everybody has gone to sleep already but for some reason, I cannot sleep, so I decided to walk in the nearest park. On my way to the park, I realized that I had a big test tomorrow morning. I decided that I already knew what to do on the test and that I didn't need to study for it. As I continued through the park, I had come across some people out on a late-night stroll. As I walked past the people in the park, I realizes that I'd just passed my friend James who had dropped out of college when I was starting my senior year. As I turned around to say hello to James, he was nowhere to be found. So I continue on my way through the park. I began to start to think about how I wanted to get into a good college and get a good scholarship. I start to get tired and begin to walk home. On my way home I accidentally bumps into my math teacher who had just gotten off of work. My teacher asks me "Why aren't you at home studying for the big test tomorrow?" I replied, "I already know all the answers on the test so, I decided to go for a walk before I got to sleep," and walks away. When I got home I went straight up to my room and got ready for bed.
The next morning, I woke up and got ready for school. On my way to school I meet up with my other friends and, they started to talk about how much they studied for the test but they still aren't ready for the test. The school day was about to start and we had just gotten into our first hour. The bell had rung and the test was administered. Once I had skimmed through all the test questions I knew that I wasn't going to do good. For as the questions were on Riemann hypothesis. As the bell had rung I put his pencil down and handed the test to the teacher. The teacher announces that the results would be posted and the students with the top five highest scores will be getting a Math Scholarship to any college. I continued throughout the day confident that I had made the top five. As my sixth hour was near an end I realizes that the results would be posted. The bell rang and I immediately ran out of class to see if the results were posted. As I neared the math results poster I began to see a crowd of people around the poster looking for their names. I started to push my way through the crowd and as I got to the results poster I noticed my name isn't on the top of the list. I began to skim down the poster to look for my name as I came to the number 49 I realized that I had not even made the top 50. On my way home my friends start to comfort me and I start to regret not studying for the test.
The next day I walk to my teacher and asked if I was able to redo the exam. The teacher replied with "No, the test had already been administered maybe you should have studied more". At that moment, I wish I had been more serious with my studies.
(I tried my best and again sorry for the inconvenience of my lateness. Feel free to change whatever you want. Hope you have a good day!)

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.
