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!
A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement used to prove a point. In this sentence, the hyperbole is "enough belts to hold down a small town." This is exaggerated because the speaker is explaining how he/she wants a jacket with many belts, but the belts could not actually hold down a small town.
It makes the most sense because you don't know what horror is about to happen or maybe it isn't horror at all. The second don't make no sense because there's too little info. The third one doesn't make sense because you don't know the situation.
