adverbs of frequency

[Nautilus_001]

Which one is correct?
1. She scarcely slept five hours last night
She slept scarcely five hours last night

2. She hardly knows any English
She knows hardly any English

The problem is, I have a native speaker friend who said that the second answer in each number is the correct ones as for me, i think the first answer is the correct one..

Thanks in advance

[Mister Micawber]

They are all understandable, but the second ones are correctly modifying:

How long did she sleep? Scarcely 5 hours.
How much English does she know? Hardly any.
