See explanation.

Explanation:

To negate a sentence with "something/someone", "everything/everyone" as a subject you can just change "some" or every to "no", so the negated sentences would be:

  1. Nothing is found cut and dry at home.

  2. Noone tries to take anyone for a ride.

Note: If the original sentence has words like "someone" or "something" functioning as an object, in the negated sentence they change to "anyone" or "anything". This can be seen in the second sentence.
