Answer: Within minutes of hearing the news, we had raced home; sure enough, our friends had just arrived and were waiting for us

Explanation: The other ones had the right idea, don’t get me wrong, however using the symbol (;) takes a while to get used to. Using it can connect two independent clauses, for example:

I went to the store; I bought a ton of fruit (grabbed from writingcenter.unc.edu)

In the context, they were racing home and had their friends waiting for them.

My apologies if this is incorrect, have a good day!
