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

    Explanation:

    In B, you need to capitalize sure (the first word of a sentence).

    In C, you need a semicolon after home because a semicolon is used in place of a period to separate two sentences where the conjunction has been left out.

    In D, you can't join clauses without a conjunction and use a comma.

    A is correct.
