In وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ, the alif madd of «مَا» precedes a hamzah at the start of another word: this is madd munfaṣil when connected. Observe the duration adopted in the recitation method being taught.
The dāl in «أَدْرَاكَ» is sākin and belongs to «قُطْبُ جَدٍّ», so it receives a light internal qalqalah, not a full added vowel.
Practice:
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ — separated madd plus dāl qalqalah.
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ — no comparable initial hamzat al-qaṭʿ in the next word, so do not classify it as munfaṣil.
