Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The second option is the correct choice .
Explanation : The preposition "of" is used to show a relationship or connection between someone or something else. "Off" means away from someone or something, and it expresses the act of detachment from a person, place, or object. Here, "put off the garden party" means to postpone the party.
Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "They had to put off the garden party because of the heavy rain."
