Answer 1

The sentence in which the underlined group of words is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb is:

**My sister applied on Tuesday to a graduate school in England.**

In this sentence, "on Tuesday" is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb "applied" by indicating when the action took place.
