Explanation:

- Option 1: only few hurt - This suggests that some people were injured, but not many. It implies harm, which doesn't perfectly align with the word "fortunately."

- Option 2: somebody was hurt - This means at least one person was injured. This isn't very fortunate, as it indicates harm.

- Option 3: nobody was hurt - This option indicates that despite the bomb going off, no one suffered injury or harm. The word "fortunately" fits well here, as it expresses relief and a positive outcome.

- Option 4: everybody was hurt - This implies widespread injury, which is not fortunate at all.
