If the word "anything" is just part of the text inside the div, then it
doesn't have a DOM element (tag) of its own. This means you can't select it
with a jQuery selector or any kind of DOM manipulation, and you can't apply
a CSS style to it.
What you can do is rewrite the HTML content of your DIV element.
If you know for sure that there is only a single DIV with
class="tpSurveyQuestion", then it's simple:
var $question = $('.tpSurveyQuestion');
$question.html(
$question.html().replace( 'anything', '<b>anything</b>' )
);
If there may be multiple DIVs that match that selector, you need to handle
each one individually:
$('.tpSurveyQuestion').each( function() {
var $question = $(this);
$question.html(
$question.html().replace( 'anything', '<b>anything</b>' )
);
});
