Answer: The answer is (To my dismay, my car had a flat; I desperately needed to find another way to go.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember a semicolon separates two independent clauses that are closely related. The two independent clauses here are tied as the flat tire creates the reason for the next action. And I got it right on the exam :).
