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.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
Mr. H. quickly began talking to his contacts in the city. Soon he heard of a British printer in Mexico City who had been falsely arrested for printing counterfeit money. Mr. H. Intervened with the British minister, who got the frightened printer released from custody and the charges against him dropped. The printer, overjoyed to be free, told Mr. H. that he would welcome the opportunity to repay the agent for his intervention. As a matter of fact, Mr. H. told him, there was a favor the printer could do for him
Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt?
A. Mr. H. knew the printer would help them upon release from prison B. Mr. H. was very concerned for the falsely imprisoned printer. C. Mr. H. and the printer had known each other for a long time. D. Mr. H. originally had not intended to employ the printer's help.
Answer:
A.) Mr. H. Knew the printer would help them upon release in the prison.
Explanation:
In the text above, we can see that Mr. H. needed the services of a printer and when he heard of one who was imprisoned, unfairly, he went to great lengths to free the printer. He did this with second intentions, because if the printer was falsely accused and someone released him, the printer would be very grateful and would not refuse to help that someone out of gratitude.
In other words, we can say that this excerpt shows us that Mr. H. knew that the printer would help them after their release in prison.
