my dog was so friendly. he was my best friend growing up.
my dog was so friendly, he was my best friend growing up.

Explanation:

For Question 6: The sentence joins two independent clauses ("I couldn't wait to go to the movies" and "I was so excited") with no punctuation or conjunction, which fits the definition of a fused sentence.
For Question 7: The original is a fused sentence. Using a semicolon, a comma + coordinating conjunction, or splitting into two separate sentences are all correct fixes. Using only a comma to join the two independent clauses creates a comma splice, which is an error, so this is not a correct fix.

Answer:

Question 6: Fused sentence
Question 7: My dog was so friendly, he was my best friend growing up.
