No, I would choose everyday. Your job is more likely something you do everyday, not just today.Quote:

If you choose C, the sentence should be 'I will have to type about 10 letters tomorrow.' Right?
Since it is a routine that the writer has to type about 10 letters, 'D' should be the option, but it should be 'every day'. In American English, both 'everyday' and 'every day' are adverbs. So I think the question may be written by an American.
