the drawing I'm working on

    You can only join end points to other end points. You can only join endpoints of un-grouped paths. You can make Illustrator treat individual paths as one object by making it a compound path. (Object>Compound Path>Make).

You can't merge it with a path. You can only join anchor points to other anchor points.

Anyway, there is no need to do that. There's nothing wrong with the paths just the way they are in your example. If your ultimate aim is to colour in the drawing, learn about the Live Paint functionality in Illustrator - there are tutorials online.
