Which is a run-on sentence? | [
"The child chews her food carefully.",

My friends walk along the path.
A run-on sentence is made up of two sentences that are joined without end punctuation or with just a comma.

To fix a run-on sentence, separate it into two sentences. Add end punctuation after the first sentence, and capitalize the second sentence.
I knocked on the door. It opened.
It started raining. We ran inside.

I knocked on the door, and it opened.
