Answer 2

An adverb clause is a phrase that qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, and degree. In your case, the subject is Jamie. The verbs that animate Jamie are 'watched' and 'learned'. The object that Jamie watched and learned from are the 'cowboys'.

But, to answer your question, the adverb here is 'at work' because it qualifies where Jamie performed the verbs 'watched' and 'learned'.
