In a multiple questions paper there is always a chance that you can pass. Even if one question goes wrong, the rest of the 4 can fetch marks. But what if you misinterpret an essay topic? Or if you do not have enough material to put on paper? One wrong step and you are doomed. If ELT is still included in the course, then ELT is the best option. No technical writing is required. Otherwise opt for short stories. Linguistic is not scoring in PU.
