Explanation:

In the above given phrase, the modifier is "ALMOST". Modifiers refer to the words which increase the conception of a phrase, without affecting the main message being provided even if they are removed. Such that the grammar of a clause may not be affected if the modifier is removed.

Modifiers tend to directly affect the noun in most cases. Here, the modifier is affecting the noun "EVERYONE" since the phrase sentences 'everyone' finishing the race except a few others. Even when removed, the grammar of the sentence will not be compromised.

The resolution of the sentence is even more clears when it is converted into active voice.

1) Almost

2)Everyone
