Grammar

Are these sentences grammatically correct?(usage of some words)

I already posted the same question and I got good answer but I want to get other answers as well, so I write this again.


I'm grading test papers.

The question was to translate Korean into English and the right answer we wanted was => The book was so popular that it sold out quickly.

Now I have 2 answers from students that I need to think about. I think both of them are weird and wrong sentences.

answer 1> The books were so popular that everyting was sold quickly.

?> I wonder if the word "everything" can indicate "the books" in this sentence.


answer 2> The book was so popular that it was quickly all sold.

?> I wonder if we can use the expression "all sold" instead of "sold out".


Any answer you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
