The sentence that contains both an adjectival phrase and an adverbial phrase is:

The athlete made a surprisingly complete recovery from the accident, despite the doctor’s prediction.

  • The adjectival phrase is "complete recovery" (modifying "recovery").
  • The adverbial phrase is "surprisingly" (modifying "complete"), as well as "from the accident."
