Impel them through
Fear can either freeze a person so they delay or it can impel them through a series of actions.
I read the above online.
I understand that "impel" means forced to do something but couldn't figure out the use of the "through" in "through a series of actions".
Is it a preposition? What does the whole phrase modify here?
