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

Explanation: "So that we would have enough..." is an adverbial clause of purpose. The phrase "despite it being his first year..." expresses concession and functions adverbially (modifying why he was named captain). The other underlined clauses are relative (adjective) or noun clauses.
