Solution

The correct option is E nothing/any
Indefinite pronouns refer to persons or things we do not know.
The given sentence indicates to some thing in the suitcase.
The given sentence is a negative sentence. So, the negative indefinite pronoun 'nothing' must be used. We can thus eliminate options A,C and E as incorrect options.
'Any' is used in negative sentence and 'some' is used in positive sentences.
Since the given sentence is a negative sentence, 'any' must be used.
Hence the complete sentence must be- There was nothing in my suitcase so I could carry it without any effort.
Thus option B is the correct answer.
Options A,C,D,E are incorrect.
