Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the only option that makes the sentence correct. The adverb almost is modifying the adverb always, and that is why the former precedes the latter.
He almost has always two pieces of toast for breakfast.
This option is incorrect. In this example, the adverb almost is modifying the verb has and the adverb always is left dangling.
He always almost has two pieces of toast for breakfast.
This option is incorrect. In this example, it is understood that he's always close to having two pieces of toast.
He has almost always two pieces of toast for breakfast.
This option is incorrect. The adverbs almost and always both precede the verb has.
