I've narrowed it down to B and C

Answer 1

           The answer would be A.  Another possibility is C. Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

A is verb and D is noun
during the summer is the adverb phrase
The answer is B
It modifies can cover. To find out what an adverb phrase mofies, you ask “how”, “where”, “why”, or “when.” Ask when does the elephant cover...? The answer is during the summer.
