The Participial Phrase and the Gerund Phrase: How to Tell Them Apart

In this lesson, we'll learn about the participial phrase and the gerund phrase. The participial functions as an adjective and the gerund functions as a noun.
Participles and gerunds are types of verbals. A verbal is a verb form that can function as a noun, an adjective, or even an adverb.
Because the participial and the gerund both end in -ing, this causes confusion for many students.
In this video, you'll learn how to distinguish the participial phrase from the gerund phrase.
A short quiz is given.

Because here it also sounds like describing the verb "hire". I mean A. why did he hire? B. Realizing he is going to fail. So here it also seems like describing the verb "hire". So would it also work like this depending on the surrounding of the context. ?
