Her computer has ___ she has ever written. (A) anything (B) everything (C) nothing (D) all thing
B is correct. C is semantically odd. But is there anything grammatically wrong with C?

We don't use "nothing" and "ever" in a sentence like this. We would just say Her computer has nothing she has written.
"ever", used with "everything", stresses 'in her whole life'. |
