The appropriate locations for commas in the sentence are after 'name' and 'us', making option B the correct choice. This follows the English grammar rule of using commas to set off additional details in a sentence.
This question pertains to identifying where to insert commas in the given sentence. According to basic English grammar rules, we insert commas to set off clauses, phrases, or words that are not essential to the main clause. Here, the best option would be B. after name and us. The sentence should be: '“Three Skeleton Key,” got its name, as the narrator tells us, from three escaped convicts.' This way, the sentence clearly relays that the information presented is additional detail provided by the narrator about 'Three Skeleton Key.'

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.
