Near (Close to) Adjective

Can I say "Am I anywhere near correct?" or "Am I anywhere close to correct?" to mean "Am I almost correct?"? Maybe, I would like to know if you could place an adjective after 'anywhere/somewhere near' or 'anywhere/somewhere close to,' or just 'near' or 'close to.'

1) Am I anywhere near (close to) correct?
2) She is near (close to) right.
3) She is so near (close to) right.
4) The meeting will be near (close to) ceremonious.
5) The meeting was somewhere near (close to) perfect.

Thanks,

Hiro
