Extremely bewildered is it an adverbial phrase?

"Extremely bewildered" is not an adverbial phrase. It's a compound adjective.

Here's why:

* Adverbial phrases modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.

* Compound adjectives are two or more words that function as a single adjective describing a noun.

In the case of "extremely bewildered," the phrase acts as a single adjective describing a person or their state. For example:

* The extremely bewildered tourist looked around in confusion.

Here, "extremely bewildered" modifies the noun "tourist," telling us about their state of mind. It does not modify a verb, adjective, or adverb.
