Answer:

the adverb that modifies the adjective is almost

the adjective that is modified is one

Step-by-step explanation:

Adverbs are words the modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb in a sentence. They answer questions like "what manner?" "To what degree?" "when?" "how?" etc.

On the other-hand

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun. By modification, it means an adjective further explains the "How" or manner of a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives give additional information to nouns or pronouns, and they can precede or follow nouns or pronouns.

Adverbs and adjectives function as adverbials, i.e., as a means of giving extra but not necessarily indispensable pieces of information.

From the sentence given:

"We have raised almost one million dollars to send to the victims of the flood."

The Adverb there is almost whose main task is to modify the adjective (of number) one, which typically answers to what degree the adjective is.
