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

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

  • The adjectival phrase is "complete recovery" (describing the noun "recovery").
  • The adverbial phrase is "from the accident" (providing information about the verb "made").

"Surprisingly" modifies "complete recovery," adding to the adverbial aspect as well.
