Answer:    This really depends what grammar system you’re working in. In many modern grammars, the key feature of an AdvP is that it is headed by an adverb. Similarly, AdjPs are headed by adjectives and NPs are headed by nouns. Consider the following examples

he ran ((very) quickly)

She’s (much happier with the new job).

(All the very best cheddar that (we) have) is from (England)

(1) has two AdvPs, which are indicated by the parentheses. The first is headed by very and only includes the word very. The second is headed by quickly and includes very quickly.

(2) is an AdjP headed by happier, but it includes everything between the parentheses.

(3) Has three NPs, headed by cheddar, we, and England respectively.

But other theories of grammar will see things differently.
