To find the sentence that uses an adverbial prepositional phrase, we will need to understand what an adverbial prepositional phrase is.

An adverbial prepositional phrase is a phrase that modifies a verb, adjective, or an adverb by answering questions such as where, when, why, how, or to what extent.

Let's look at the given sentences to find the one that fits this description:

1. She went to the store to buy groceries.
2. The cat jumped off the table.
3. He ran quickly to catch the bus.

Out of the three sentences, sentence 3 "He ran quickly to catch the bus" uses an adverbial prepositional phrase. The phrase "to catch the bus" modifies the verb "ran" and explains the purpose or reason for running quickly.
