Answer
1. 'As quick as a flash', 'into the undergrowth' 2. 'Every Monday' 3. 'Once a week', 'with my friends'
Explanation
Adverbs and adverbial phrases modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. There are a lot of different types of adverbials and a lot of different words (and types of word like phrases and clauses) can be used as adverbials. In the given sentences, we are aiming to underline the adverbials. Let's take the sentences one by one: 'As quick as a flash', in sentence 1, creates an immediate image of speediness, giving us more detail about how quickly the fox disappeared, thus, it's an Adverbial Phrase of Manner; 'into the undergrowth' suggest where the fox disappeared, which make this an Adverbial Phrase of Place. "Every Monday" in sentence 2. 'Every Monday' tells us when something occurs, and therefore, it's an Adverbial Phrase of Time. "Once a week" implies how frequently swimming happens, i.e., it's an Adverbial Phrase of Frequency; 'with my friends' suggests with whom activities happen, thereby making this an Adverbial Phrase of Accompaniment.
