But in any case, what can anyone do?

- had heard a rumor that he led a "wild" life.
- Обоснование: Someone (или Somebody) — производная от some.
- Her parents are no more, you know. I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
- Обоснование: no more является устойчивым сочетанием с no (разновидность использования «no»). В смысле — родители умерли; это изменяет контекст, но выражение нормально для разговорного английского. (Если соблюдать строгую односложную форму, можно заменить на "no one" + "life" и т.д., но здесь наиболее естественно "no more" в сочетании с контекстом.)
Как выбрать форму в целом:
- some / somebody / something часто используют, когда речь идёт о неизведанном, положительных ожиданиях, утверждениях в утвердительной форме.
- any / anybody / anything чаще встречается в вопросах, отрицаниях и условных предложениях, а также в общем значении “любой/любое”.
- no / no one / nothing / nobody — отрицательная форма; обычно указывает на полное отсутствие.
Если хочешь, могу привести альтернативные варианты (например, заменить some на somebody/something в конкретных строках) или пояснить каждую строку подробнее с примерами.
