Traducción & Definición
(Alice doesn't live here) anymore: (Alicia) ya (no vive aquí)
As one word, anymore is used in negative and interrogative constructions to describe a lack of something OR to express a current state (similar to the term "nowadays"):
Jane doesn't work here anymore. Jane ya no trabaja aquí.
They don't make cars like this anymore. Ya no hacen coches como estos.
(Are there) any more (paper clips?): ¿(Queda) algún (clip)?
In interrogative constructions, any more is used when we are unsure of the possible response. In negative constructions, it is used to describe a lack or absence of something:
Do you have any more ideas? ¿Tiene alguna otra idea?
I don't have any more ideas. No tengo más ideas.
(I have) no more (time): (No tengo) más (tiempo)
No more is used in affirmative constructions to describe a lack or absence of something. Rarely, "no more" is used in affirmative constructions to describe the end of an action:
I have no more patience for that fox. Este zorro ha agotado toda mi paciencia.
I will tolerate your behaviour no more. (archaic) No toleraré más su comportamiento.

"Furthermore" shares a similar meaning with "moreover" or "additionally". It does not make sense here.
"Any longer" is an alternative to "anymore", and this statement is correct. Another example: "I'm not going to accept your bad behaviour any longer: things must change".
This sentence is grammatically incorrect: it is a "double negative". To make sense, it could read either "you don't work here any more" or "you no longer work here".
This sentence is grammatically correct, and conveys Luna's meaning. "No longer" shares a similar meaning with "no more", and expresses that a situation or event has ended. Example: "I no longer want to eat meat".

1 anymore: "Anymore" is used to express a change of situation in this context. It is used after a negation. Example: “I used to like penguins, but I don’t like them anymore”.
1 no longer: We can't add "no longer" to this sentence, because it already contains the negative auxiliary "won't". We add "no longer" to an affirmative sentence to indicate the end of an action or habit. We could say: "I will no longer be able to wear dresses".
2 no longer: “No longer” indicates that the action of swimming will not continue in the future (presumably because the temperature is too low in winter). Another example: "My best friend has moved to Peru. I will no longer spend my Saturday evenings playing word games with him. I am deeply sad".
2 anymore: "Anymore" is used after a negation. There is no negation in this sentence. We could say: “I won’t swim in the sea anymore.”
3 no longer: Again, “no longer” indicates that the action of laying feet on sand will not continue in the future. Another example: "According to new company rules, we can no longer refer to any colleague as 'that idiot'".
3 anymore: "Anymore" is used after a negation. There is no negation in this sentence. We could say: “I won’t lay my feet on the sand anymore".

1 no longer: Jean can say "I no longer take the subway now I’ve got a bike". This implies a change of situation: he used to take the subway, but that action has stopped. Another example: "I no longer eat meat, because I watched a film about conditions in factory farms".
1 [-]: "No longer" can be added to this sentence.
2 no longer: Jean can say "I can no longer ignore the weather forecast now". This implies another change of situation: before, he was able to ignore the forecast, but now he cannot. Another example: "Since her accident, my mother can no longer dress herself".
2 [-]: "No longer" can be added to this sentence.
3 [-]: Because "anymore" is already used at the end of the sentence to express a change of situation, we don’t require the use of "no longer".
3 no longer: We cannot add "no longer" after a negative auxiliary such as "can't". "No longer" is added to affirmative sentences to indicate a change of situation. "I can't blame it on public transport suicides anymore" and "I can no longer blame it on public transport suicides" have the same meaning.
