Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Now that

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses.

Subordinating conjunction connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.

'In spite of' is used to express that something is unexpected or surprising.

'As long as' is used to refer the intended duration of a plan or an idea. It mostly refers to the future situation.

'Now that' describes a situation that is true and allows for the possibility of something else to happen. It's often used to describe a cause and effect relationship. In the given sentence, it is explained that there is a possibility of the start of the next action after the rain has stopped.

'Due to' is a predicate adjective + preposition which means “the result of” or “resulting from.” It is used after a form of the verb to be.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
