The two sentences that use an adverbial clause are:
1. **Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team.** (The clause "despite it being his first year on the team" functions adverbially as it relates to the circumstances under which Javy was named captain.)
2. **So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad.** (The clause "So that we would have enough left for tomorrow" is an adverbial clause explaining the purpose of using only half of the vegetables.)
The other sentences contain relative clauses or noun clauses but do not contain adverbial clauses.
