Answer 1

The sentences that use an adverbial clause are:

1. So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad.
2. Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team.

(Note: "despite it being his first year on the team" functions similarly to an adverbial clause, though it may also be interpreted as a prepositional phrase with a gerund.)

The first option clearly contains an adverbial clause, while the second option contains a clause that gives a reason related to the action, which can also function adverbially in context.
