The correct answer is A
cabinet reshuffle means that to change or reorganization of government ministers.
Now to survive it means that to remain as a minister despite reorganization in government.
So the correct answer should be A👌👌👌💯💯

The correct answer is not A
It says "all but two ministers retained their posts". This means all the ministers except two retained their posts, whereas the sentence is trying to say that it is only 2 ministers that retained their posts/not sacked.

reshuffle is not the same as dismissal.
they were affected but not sacked.
A should be the correct answer.

Guys look at the option again ALL BUT TWO,, that means all were either sacked or retained, depending on the final words.. My school is correct

My school is correct, the question says all but two ministers retained their post, that is all ministers retained their post but only two didn't ✅
