Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) PQRS

The subject 'The written part' comes first, followed by its modifier 'of the examination'. The verb phrase 'was postponed' follows, and the reason 'owing to the floods' closes the sentence. This gives PQRS. Other orders break the link between the subject and its modifier.
