Answer 1

The sentence that contains both an adjectival phrase and an adverbial phrase is:

D. The athlete made a surprisingly complete recovery from the accident despite the doctor's prediction.

In this sentence:

• "surprisingly complete" functions as an adjectival phrase describing the noun "recovery."
• "from the accident" functions as an adverbial phrase providing information about the circumstances of the recovery.
