Modified objects in each sentence

In sentence 1, it is unclear whether "almost" refers to the verb "sold" or to the object "all of the drinks." That happens because of its location in the sentence, right before the verb. On the other hand, in sentence 2, "almost" is placed after the verb, which makes it clear that it modifies the object "all of the drinks."

In sentence 3, we are not told who is disappointed about not being able to ride the bike. Therefore, the modified oject is missing. On the other hand, in sentence 4, we are clearly told that it is the boy who is disappointed.
