A: Rules are a set of guidelines that one must follow as a way of keeping order. Regulation is a type of rule, but that normally is enforced by a form of authority, while a rule can be established by individuals or groups. A policy is more of a type of principle, rather than a rule, is more of an enforced guideline, usually enforcing or encouraging prudence.
"The rules are clear about walking around campus pass certain hours"
"The local sheriff is very strict about regulating this year's hunting season, people started hunting outside of county boundaries"
"We have a strict policy of financial integrity, a policy you have broken by inflating your numbers, I am afraid we have to let you go, clean your desk by noon".

A: Any means “任何一个”, so the first one is better. Example: Is there any volunteer? Is there anybody who wants to answer this question?

"opposed" is past tense - it's something they did in the past

A: @sidney: yes I think the y are so common in wrting and in formal situations.

A:
I see. Then that would be correct. The thing with "ransacked" is it has the sense of being something very thorough, so to say "ransacked the house" would mean the entire house. Similarly, if you said "searched the house" it would imply the entire house. You could say:
We ransacked/searched all of the house.
but it is quite redundant.

"Cake" is a better example:
I ate all of the cake, I didn't share it.
but you could also say
I ate all the cake, I didn't share it.
(these work because it's "all parts of ...") for example, you could not say "i drove all of the car", only "i drove the car", or "i drove all of the cars".

You probably don't realise that in your original questions, the options you gave were:
(all the/ all of the)
(all /all of / all of the)
(all of the / all the/ all )
but in the cake example they were:
(all of the/ all the/ all of)

I think in any of your examples, you can say either
all of the
or
all the (except ransacked ... house)

A: I would rephrase it this way:
