B) "Next thing you know, everything changed for Marian."

Everything is a generalization. What does she mean by everything? Did her hair color change? Did she lose limbs? Did she get married or divorced? Did she have kids? Did she get noticed as a singer? What does everything mean? The use of the word everything makes this a general rather than a specific statement.
