Answer:

During the game, Mary wanted to go to the concession stand badly; but it was too interesting to leave.

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that you just want to fix it grammatically:

add a comma after the word game because it is a dangling modifier

add a semicolon after the word badly because it separates 2 independent clauses.
