They normally are used as adjectives or adverbs.
If used as an adjective they'll answer the inquiry "Which one?"
If used as an adverb they'll answer the inquiry "How?","When?", or "Where?"

Answer:

The correct answers are “adjectives and adverbs”.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every prepositional phrase is a group of words consisting of a preposition, its object and any words that modify the object. The object can be a noun, pronoun, gerund or clause. For example this prepositional phrase “the chocolate inside the fridge is mine” functions as an adjective, and “without a cellphone we cannot reach her” function as adverb.
