    Solution

    Words like everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody are actually singular, not plural. Even though “everybody” refers to a lot of people, it takes the singular verb. So, the correct sentence is – Everybody was celebrating the victory, everything was bubbling with life in the ruined but reviving city.
