Default Prepositional Phrases as Modifiers

Hi, everyone. I've underlined the prepositional phrases in the following sentences and stated what type of modifiers (adjectival or adverbial) I believe the phrases to be. Would someone be kind enough to correct only the the phrases that I've stated incorrectly. Thanks.

1. Why don't you give me a hand with the rest (adverbial) of the work (adjectival).

2. His assistant was unemployed for four weeks (adverbial).

3. Your friend doesn't look healthy to me (adverbial).

4. Ignorance on the part (adjectival) of the general public (adjectival) is excusable.

5. In a country (adverbial) like Britain (adjectival), airport location is a great problem.

6. The Presidential campaign finishes in the beginning (adverbial) of November (adjectival).

7. Surprisingly, Most of them (adjectival) were on his front porch (adverbial).

Did I answer all correctly? This isn't homework. Just trying to analyze my progress.

Thank you very much. I hope this post didn't violate any rules of the site.
