Williamson · Answer 2

The correct answer is C.) The adjective phrase amazingly lucky modifies the word shots. An adjective phrase is a phrase with an adjective as a headword. The adjective gets a modifier (in this case an adverb: amazingly), and it modifies (describes) the noun it clings to (in this case: shots).
