This is a sentence (or clause), not a phrase. The adjective is dumb, and the adverb is very, modifying dumb. So "very dumb" is the adjective phrase.
"That". In a non-restrictive adjective clause, such as in the sentence: "He went to the Eiffel Tower, which is located in Paris." The non-restrictive adjective clause, "which is located in Paris", called non-restrictive because it does not serve to improve the identification of the Eiffel Tower or "restrict" the meaning of it, contains the adjective clause pronoun "which". The reader would know what the Eiffel Tower was referring to even without the adjective clause because there is only one Eiffel Tower. This is what makes the adjective clause non-restrictive - not improving the identification of the noun. One could not use "that" in place of "which" because "that" is only used to alter or restrict the meaning of the noun. Here is an example of a restrictive adjective clause using "that": "I went to the store that is on the corner of Sunset and Vine." In this sentence the adjective clause, "that is on the corner of Sunset and Vine", restricts which store we are referring to, to the one "that is on the corner of Sunset and Vine" and not the one on Main and Third Streets. Thus it is called a restrictive clause. In restrictive clauses, one can use "that" and any of the other adjective clause pronouns: who, whom, which, where, when.
An adjective clause is the group of words that contain the subject and the verb acting as an adjective. An adverb clause answers questions like how, when and where.
