[Answer]
雨も降ってきた（1 ことだし）、タクシーで帰ることにしよう。
Since it started raining, let’s take a taxi home.
「〜ことだし」
= “Since…” or “Because…”
ことだし implies there may be other reasons; you highlight one of them.
Why it fits here:
There may be many reasons (tired, far from the station, heavy bags).
The speaker highlights one: it started raining.
So, “Let’s take a taxi.”
That’s why ことだし is the best choice.
✖ Other choices:
ことだけあって
= “as expected from ~” or “no wonder ~” (used for praise).
こととなると
= “when it comes to ~” (used to talk about a specific topic).
Not a reason for a suggestion.
ことなく
= “without doing ~”
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
