In that book bag, William was carrying the materials that he needed to make himself the best student in the school.

Not 2. Read about adverbs here, and let me know what you decide.

It's not 1, since that answer I put was wrong. I can still only find two. Does my BOOK bag count?

If the instructions mean one-word adverbs like <i>shortly, quickly</i> etc., there are none.

If the instructions mean that phrases used as adverbs can be counted, then 2 (your first answer) is correct.
