the bird that we saw on our south african safari was called a lilac - breasted roller.
so that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "Olivier J. Wallach, who founded the college, has a building named after him there." - This is a relative clause (adjective clause) modifying the noun "Olivier J. Wallach", not an adverbial clause.
• "None of us could believe what the mountain climber described in his lecture." - This has a noun clause (what the mountain climber described...) acting as the object of "believe", not an adverbial clause.
• "Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team." - The phrase "despite it being his first year on the team" is a prepositional phrase with a gerund clause, not a traditional adverbial clause. However, if we consider a broader view, some might argue, but the last option is a clear adverbial clause of purpose.
• "The bird that we saw on our South African safari was called a lilac - breasted roller." - This is a relative clause (adjective clause) modifying the noun "the bird".
• "So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad." - The clause "So that we would have enough left for tomorrow" is an adverbial clause of purpose, as it explains the reason (purpose) for using only half of the vegetables. Also, the option "Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team" can be considered as having an adverbial - like structure (the phrase "despite it being his first year on the team" functions adverbially to show contrast). But the most clear adverbial clauses are in "Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team" (adverbial clause of concession, with "despite" introducing a clause - like structure) and "So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad" (adverbial clause of purpose).

1. Conclusion: The two sentences with adverbial clauses are "Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team" and "So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad".

Answer:

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