Thank you for checking my answers. Could you please explain a little more as to why "off" is an adverb?
In this sentence, "off" modifies the verb "turn." An adverb can go more than one place in a sentence without changing the meaning. It can be separated from the words "the light." Those facts are not true of prepositions.
